Dividend Growth from Utilities



Most Utilities raise their dividends annually, but the growth rates vary dramatically. Most investors hold both Enbridge and TransCanada in their portfolios. Both have increased their payouts 5 times in the last 5 years. Enbridge which has historically traded with a lower current yield than TransCanada has rewarded investors with better dividend growth over the period.

The best dividend grower in the sector has been Fortis with a growth rate of 14% per year.
