Dividend Growth Investor: High Yield Stocks Raising Dividends
Wikio
As a dividend growth investor I purchase stocks which are attractively valued and which have the business characteristics to keep raising distributions over time. Procter & Gamble is a perfect example of a dividend growth stock, after rewarding its shareholders with its 55th consecutive annual dividend increase.
The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) provides consumer packaged goods in the United States and internationally. The company raised its dividend by % to 52.50 cents/share. This marked the 55th consecutive annual dividend increase for this dividend king. There areonly eleven companies which have managed to raise distributions for over half a century. The ten year dividend growth rate for Procter & Gamble is 10.90%. Yield: 3.40%. Check my analysis of the stock.
One sector which consistently pays not only high distributions, but also offers above average yields is master limited partnerships. Last week, several MLPs announced distribution hikes:
