77! That’s the number of stocks and funds which raised dividends last week. It’s the highest amount this year and the highest for several months.
Dividend growth is often a good sign for a healthy business. Corporate leaders like to give money back that they don’t need for their business. They also expect a strong incoming cash flow.
Yesterday, I started to tweet some of those stocks with recent dividend growth via my @DividendSheet account on twitter. You can also follow me there in order get more dividend stock ideas - quick and short, informative with current yield and price-earnings figures. I even try to limit my thoughts but I cover over 50,000 stocks around the world and a few hundred of them are very good dividend growth investments.
However, 77 stocks and funds raised dividends last week, of which 44 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 40.67%. Linked is a small list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.
