10-Year Dividend Growers with dividend increase (Dec 04 - Dec 08)


One way to identify dividend growth stocks is to look for dividend increases. Companies that pay rising dividends are likely to be financially healthy and generate consistent cash flow. I am interested in stocks with at least ten consecutive years of increasing annual regular dividend payments. Here is a list of such companies that increased their dividends last week.







Graco (NYSE:GGG), +10.42% dividend increase

Graco has declared quarterly dividend of $0.3975 (+10.42% increase). It goes ex-dividend on Jan-19-2018 and is payable on Feb-07-2018. Annualized dividend is $1.59 at a yield of 1.22%.

  2. It is a utility company (SoCal region). One of the reasons I write these posts is to expose myself to new stocks. Being a utility company it's yield is high ... however FCF based dividend payout ratio is not that good.

  3. Geek, WPC is the only one I own, but just a small position. I have looked at Graco in the past. They have kind of high payout ratio for an industrial company. Any opinion on Graco? Tom

    1. I agree the dividend payout ratio is high. P/E is high too. The only positive I see is their share buy back. It seems like the price is popped up by these buy backs. I would stay clear.

  4. Good list for further study. WPC and PNR are the two I am currently checking in depth, if found a good value then will pull the trigger.

    Happy Investing.

    1. Thanks for your comment TDK. Glad you found this page useful. I do not have positions in any of the above stocks. I feel they are over priced. Let us know if you do decide to buy either PNR or WPC (Curious to know your reasons to buy).
