I love dividends and dividend-growth stocks. I believe that those companies could have a well running business and could have a better performance in the long-run. Below is a current list of companies that have announced a dividend increase within the recent week. In total, stocks with recent dividend hikes . The average dividend growth amounts to 48.60% and the average dividend yield amounts to 3.03%. Stocks from the sheet are valuated with a P/E ratio of 22.53. The average P/S ratio is 14.48 and P/B 2.86.
