The leading dividend stocks with growth

Microsoft develops cloud-based software solutions, as well as maintaining a diversified portfolio of business applications such as Office 365. What makes Microsoft so intriguing as well apart from its phenomenal revenue and business growth over the past decade is also the continued growth of its dividends. Growth for their quarterly dividends grew 9.16% over the last 5 years. As of right now, Microsoft has a quarterly dividend of $0.56, and surprisingly their payout ratio has remained fairly low at 29.84%. Overall, Microsoft is a really compelling company that gives shareholders many benefits such as share price appreciation from continued revenues and earnings beats, as well as dividend growth over the long term.
