Dividend-paying stocks update, July 21, 2014: Dividends paid by S&P 500 Index companies will climb almost as much in the next five years as they did during the last four, according to Rod Smyth, chief investment strategist at global asset management firm RiverFront Investment Group LLC.

Smyth estimates payouts will grow 40% through 2019, barring any "significant earnings downturn." He sees growth coming from rising profits, which he believes will be distributed in a greater percentage via dividends.

"The case for dividend growth over the next five years is very compelling," Smyth wrote in a report last week and reported by Bloomberg. Income-hungry investors may do better with stocks than bonds, the Richmond, Va.-based strategist added.

That means it's a good time for investors to add dividends to their portfolios. With dividend growth a key factor in a good dividend stock, check out this list of the 31 dividend-paying stocks that increased payouts during the week ending July 18.
