Here is a current sheet of companies with fastest dividend growth compared to the previous dividend declaration. The dividend growth is often a good indicator for the financial health of a stock. Companies with a strong increase in dividends judge the future of their company as rosy and they want to give money back to shareholders that they don’t need for their business.
In total, 49 companies announced a dividend growth of more than 10% within the recent month. The average dividend yield of the fastest dividend growth stocks from last month amounts to 3.37% and the dividend growth is 70.76%.
