5 REITs with Fast Growing Dividends

Increasing dividends over time will pull up the share price of a stock. High yield and regular dividend growth gives income investors the most consistent gains out of any strategy. REITs like the five in today’s article can play a key role in those consistent returns. The strategy of buying shares of companies that will produce above average dividend growth rates should produce above average total returns through both the up and the down cycles in the stock market.

One group to start with is companies that have announced significant increases in the past year. This can be an indication that management believes the growth is sustainable. Then you can dig into current financials and management guidance to make your own judgement concerning future dividend increase rates. Here are five REITs that have announced big dividend boosts over the last 12 months: Hudson Pacific Properties Inc (HPP), First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (FR), PS Business Parks Inc (PSB), Empire State Realty Trust Inc (ESRT) and American Tower Corp (AMT).
