3 Dividend Boosting Stocks for Your Portfolio

As earnings season nears its end many companies have, once again, raised their dividends. Yet, while we may all love dividends, how can you separate the truly great dividend stocks from the pack? At the end of this article, I'll give you a quick tip for picking dividend stocks. First, here are three stocks with soaring dividends that you should consider today.

Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), our first name, is a good example of a hybrid stock. It can satisfy growth and value investors alike and, in my opinion, income investors should consider it too. Dunkin Brands (NASDAQ: DNKN), which owns Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, has some rabid fans. Dunkin' raised its dividend 21% following the quarter, and the expansion of that manic fan base could lead to some tasty dividends going forward. With a forward P/E around 16, and price-to-sales ratio of 1.8, you could argue that PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) looks cheap (relative to this market) on numbers alone.
