Stocks With the Greatest Near-Future Dividend Growth Potential

Most people with money in the market are investing in a nest egg, such as their retirement or their children’s college fund. This is the kind of money that people don’t want to gamble with: they want to invest it with as little risk as is tolerable. They want to invest for the long run and would rather see their money grow slowly but surely than in dramatic swings between profits and losses. For this class of investor, stocks with large dividends have always been a favorite pick.

If you’re interested in dividend stocks, something to look out for are companies that are expected to increase their dividend rapidly in the near future. Here's a look at the top seven: American Tower Corp. (NYSE:AMT), Zimmer Holdings Inc. (NYSE:ZMH), Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS), Progressive Corp. (NYSE:PGR), SunTrust Banks Inc. (NYSE:STI), Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:RF) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C).
