The Key Story

3 Fast Growing Dividend Stocks With Big Raises

In my latest video, I highlighted three fast-growing dividend stocks that announced fresh dividend increases this week. Each one offers a unique combination of yield, growth potential, and business model. Here’s a quick rundown:

  1. MasterCard (MA)

    • New Dividend: $0.76 per share (up 15% from $0.66).

    • Key Insight: MasterCard and Visa have dominant positions in digital payments, and MasterCard’s revenue per share has grown at about 14% annually over the past decade. Despite a low dividend yield (currently around 0.58%), MasterCard makes up for it with rapid dividend growth and consistent share buybacks—often 2% of shares per year.

    • Why So Low Yield? They keep the payout ratio small (below 25%) and consistently trade at a premium valuation due to their high growth and wide moat. Long-term investors looking for total return rather than current income may find MasterCard appealing.

  2. Waste Management (WM)

    • New Dividend: $0.825 per share (up 10% from $0.75).

    • Key Insight: Known for reliability, Waste Management has a track record of steady dividend hikes, typically around 7%–8% in recent years. This new double-digit bump signals confidence in the company’s cash-flow growth.

    • Business Model: Though it has higher capital expenditures than payment processors, the firm still generates robust free cash flow. At around a 1.6% yield after the increase, it might suit dividend investors who value stability and moderate growth.

  3. TFI International (TFII)

    • New Dividend: $0.45 per share (up 12.5% from $0.40).

    • Key Insight: This trucking and logistics company has shown strong cash flow gains, giving it a lower valuation relative to free cash flow. The payout ratio is comfortably below 25%, reflecting plenty of room for future raises.

    • Dividend Growth: TFI’s dividend hikes have often been well above 10%, but it has a shorter track record than MasterCard and Waste Management. Still, its accelerating growth could be attractive for investors seeking a blend of value and rising income.
