Last week, an additional 41 stocks and funds announced dividend raises. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.59%. On the list are some big players from the financial sector like JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup or W.R. Berkley. Also the tech giant Hewlett-Packard raised its dividend by 10% despite operational problems. Twelve companies announced to pay a first-ever dividend and 10 stocks reduced payments last week.
The good thing is that dividend growth is definitely stronger than dividend cuts.
