Dividend Growth Stock List: 8 Names Yielding Up To 8.3%
Key Points:
- Several companies with low current dividend yields are rapidly increasing their payouts, turning modest yields into potentially significant income streams over time; notable examples include Argan, Chemed, Howmet Aerospace, Comfort Systems, and T-Mobile US.
- Argan has doubled its dividend in three years following strong earnings growth, while Chemed has consistently raised dividends for nearly two decades, with a 20% increase expected in 2025 despite recent profit dips.
- Comfort Systems has seen a nearly doubled net income in 2025 and a 260% share price increase over the past year, supporting multiple dividend raises annually and a payout ratio of just 7% of earnings.
- Larger dividend payers like Altria Group, Virtus Investment Partners, and Hess Midstream LP continue to raise dividends steadily, with Altria focusing on growth in smokeless nicotine products despite challenges in traditional tobacco sales.
- Hess Midstream, now part of Chevron, maintains a long streak of quarterly distribution increases, with expected continued growth driven by improved free cash flow and adjusted capital expenditure guidance.
