dividend-paying stocks listDividend hikes continue to roll in as 2014 comes to a close - just take a look at our new dividend-paying stocks list.

This year is certain to be a record one for dividend payouts with another double-digit gain, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Over the last two weeks, 58 companies increased payouts, including AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), Boeing Inc. (NYSE: BA), and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE).

Following are 25 of the most notable, recent dividend stock hikes.

25 Dividend Stocks That Just Hiked Payouts

3M Co. (NYSE: MMM) moved its quarterly dividend up 20% to $1.025 a share for a 2.5% share. The diversified manufacturer and maker of Post-It Notes and Scotch Tape projects its per-share earnings could grow by as much as 12% in 2015, as its appetite for acquisitions helps drive growth.

The Power of Dividend Stocks

  • Stability. Research shows that dividend-paying stocks have outperformed non-dividend payers in four of the last five decades. And during periods when the Fed's monetary policy is neutral or easing, the gain for dividend-paying stocks is 12.3% vs. 6.2% in neutral environments and 10.0% vs. -2.5% in easing periods.
  • Performance. Dividend-paying stocks outperform non-dividend paying stocks by even more in down markets than they do in up markets. That's because dividend payers attract investors when the share price falls and the dividend yield rises.
  • Growth. Investors can substantially expand their asset base when they consistently reinvest dividends. In fact, 85% to 90% of total stock market returns come from dividends and the reinvestment of those dividends.

Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) hiked its quarterly payout $0.02 to $0.24 a share for a 2.1% yield. The Feb. 13 payout will mark the 364th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by the global healthcare company.

Amgen Inc. (Nasdaq: AMGN) increased its quarterly dividend $0.18, or 30%, to $0.79 per share for a yield approaching 2%. Shares of the biotech giant are up a healthy 43.29% year to date.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) raised its quarterly dividend a penny to $0.47 a share for a 5.5% yield. This is the 31st year in a row AT&T has increased its quarterly dividend.

Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) boosted its quarterly payout $0.18, or 25%, to $0.91 a share for a 2.36% yield. The aerospace giant also boosted its share buyback to $12 billion, the largest in its history.

Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (Nasdaq: CALM) moved its quarterly dividend up 32% to $0.25 a share for a 2.38% yield.

Camden National Corp. (Nasdaq: CAC) upped its quarterly dividend $0.03 to $0.30 a share for a 3% yield.
