10 Stocks Giving Investors More Money

I'm a passionate dividend investor and I also like to see my dividends growing. For sure, dividend growth is no safe bet or a strategy that makes you quick rich but it can deliver a solid return.

I've build a database with dividend growth stocks and stocks that have announced a share buyback program in order to monitor potential investment opportunities.

Each day and week, I sit down and watch that list and switch stock by stock with hopes to find the next ten-bagger that could generate millions for my portfolio.

Below is an overview of the latest dividend grower. Those stocks have raised dividends within the past week. This time, only 10 companies hiked their payments to shareholders.

The biggest fish in the pool was Philip Morris, followed by American Tower and Yum! Brands.

Big is beautiful but they also have a high debt burden in common.
