Dividend Growth Investor: Twenty Companies Spreading Holiday Cheer to Shareholders
Markets are ending 2024 on a strong note following substantial gains. While most investors are focused on capital gains, many companies continue to grow their dividend payouts. And total dividend payouts to investors continue to rise.
With the end of year, many companies are raising their dividends thanks to strong earnings. The list of companies with a long track record of dividend payout growth continues to rise. A full 20 companies recently raised their payouts for at least the 10th consecutive year.
That includes tech giant Broadcom (AVGO). The chipmaker has had a strong year, and recently increased their payout by 11.3%, from $0.53 to $0.59. While most investors may not think of the company as a dividend play, it’s now raised its payout for the 14th consecutive year.
And with chips still in demand for AI technologies, AVGO can also continue to offer investors large capital gains in 2025 on top of its dividend.
A higher-yielding opportunity is in Realty Income (O). Realty income raised its dividend by 0.2%, but it’s raised its payout for 30 years. Plus, shares pay monthly, which few dividend stocks do. With a current yield of 5.8%, this REIT may be ideal for investors seeking current income.
Clearly, different stocks in different sectors with different yields continue to increase their payout over time. That’s a big win for investors.
