Are these 2 of the best high-yield dividend growth shares to consider today?
Here are two such dividend heavyweights I think deserve serious consideration. As you can see, their dividend yields comfortably beat the FTSE 100's prospective average of 3.4%.
Dividend stock
Dividend growth
Dividend yield
Primary Health Properties (LSE:PHP)
1.7%
7.2%
Tritax Big Box (LSE:BBOX)
4.4%
5.6%
Here's why I think they could be among the best dividend shares for investors to consider right now.
Under real estate investment trust (REIT) regulations, Primary Health Properties has to pay at least nine-tenths of yearly profits from its rental operations out in dividends.
Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice.
This can make REITs more dependable than other UK shares for a large and consistent dividend income. But it doesn't guarantee it, as occupancy and rent collection issues can still strike shareholder returns.
However, Primary Health's focus on an ultra-defensive industry greatly reduces such risks. It owns and operates first-contact properties like GP surgeries and community health centres, sites that remain busy at all points of the economic cycle.
Furthermore, almost all of its rental agreements are underpinned by NHS and government bodies, providing added stability over time.
Don't be mistaken in thinking this sector is just brilliantly boring, however. It also has substantial opportunity for growth under the government's new 10-year Health Plan to '[move] care from hospitals to the community'.
Primary Health has grown annual dividends each year since the mid-to-late 1990s. Threats to future growth include future changes to NHS policy and sector oversupply than dents rental rolls.
But on balance, I think it's a great stock to consider, and one I hold in my own Stocks and Shares ISA.
Tritax Big Box's dividend growth policy isn't quite as impressive as that of its FTSE 250 counterpart. One reason is that it's only been in existence since 2013. Another reason is that the annual dividend fell for the first time during the height of the pandemic five years ago.
But this REIT has grown shareholder payouts steadily since then, and is tipped to continue through to 2027 at least. In fact, predicted dividend growth for this year is more than double the rate predicted for the broader UK share complex.
Tritax Big Box doesn't operate in defensive sectors, which can leave profits vulnerable during lean periods. But its portfolio composition helps to reduce (if not totally eliminate) the threat to dividends and its share price.
It has more than 128 tenants on its books spread across 102 properties. These cover multiple industries and include blue-chip companies like Amazon and Ocado, providing strength through diversification.
With online shopping still growing, supply chains being onshored, and data centre demand increasing, I expect demand for its big box assets to rise over time. This could in turn deliver sustained long-term dividend growth.

Lucid Shatters World Record With 749-Mile Drive On A Single Charge
The widespread adoption of electric vehicles has long been hindered by a two-headed dragon: the lack of public charging infrastructure and the typical driver's range anxiety. These obstacles push automakers to find ways to improve range and show off their progress. A Lucid Air Grand Touring took the Guinness World Record for the longest trip in an EV on a single charge last weekend. The luxury sedan completed an impressive 749-mile journey between St. Moritz, Switzerland and Munich, Germany, shattering the previous record by nearly 100 miles. Behind the wheel of the Lucid was Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur who has the eccentric hobby of breaking Guinness World Records. In 2017, Sabanci set the record for visiting the most countries in 24 hours by scheduled transportation. He and a friend darted to 13 countries across Europe. In 2022, he completed the fastest circumnavigation of the Earth by scheduled flights. Sabanci flew a three-flight itinerary from and to Los Angeles International Airport in 46 hours and 23 minutes via Doha, Qatar and Brisbane, Australia. Sabanci previously worked with Lucid. He broke the record driving to the most countries on a single charge in June 2024. The vanity record breaker drove 567 miles southward through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and Italy. In a statement regarding the single-charge distance record, he said: "When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning. This new achievement takes that journey even further. I'm proud to be part of a movement that proves electric mobility isn't just the future; it's already redefining what's possible today." Read more: These Are The Cars Our Readers Wish Would Depreciate Faster If his background didn't show it, he isn't an elite-level EV hypermiling tuner. The run was done in collaboration with Lucid. The California-based manufacturer likely provided the modifications and expertise necessary to extend the drive far beyond the Lucid Air Grand Touring's EPA-estimated range of 516 miles. Lucid has stripped the record from a privately run Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+. The previous record of 645 miles was set just last month and broke the symbolic 1,000-kilometer barrier. One can only hope that competition for bragging rights between manufacturers will drive the record even further out and lead to technology that will become standard across all EVs. It's hard to believe that we're only three years removed from Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX's unveiling. The German automaker built a hyper-efficient electric concept car to prove that an electric vehicle could have 1,000 kilometers of range. However, the one-off car was designed as a bland, blobby teardrop to minimize drag, taking function over form to the extreme. Now, we're seeing typically styled electric cars blasting past the 1,000-km mark. It's impressive to see how far EVs have progressed in recent years, and hopefully, this level of development won't stop. Want more like this?

Planning to Travel? This Prime Day Deal Gets You a 4-Pack of Apple AirTags for $65, the Lowest Price Yet
Amazon Prime Day sale: Apple's AirTags are available right now on Amazon for $65 for a four-pack during Amazon's July Prime Day sale event. That brings them down to just over $16 each, which is the lowest price we've seen -- but we don't expect this deal to stick around. Not long ago, as I waited at baggage claim after a trip to Paris, I became increasingly nervous as bag after bag dropped onto the carousel, none of them mine. I knew there was no need to panic, though. Back at Charles de Gaulle airport, I had dropped a sophisticated little tracking device into my trusty rolling suitcase before handing it over and heading to my gate. So, I pulled out my iPhone and, with just a few taps, I could see that my bag had never left the City of Light. (Merde!) Over the years, I've come to depend on Apple's AirTags to keep track of many types of easy-to-lose valuables. They're not just good for luggage. I also use them to track wallets, bikes, keys and even my car. I tell everyone who will listen that you can never have too many of these handy devices. Here's how the Apple AirTag (like the one that was in my suitcase on that fateful trip) works. It uses an ingenious method of tracking itself, detecting its location from nearby iPhones and using them to anonymously piggyback the coordinates to a secure server where I could look it up on my iPhone. Until just a few years ago, this would have seemed like a scene straight out of a spy movie. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Instead of wondering if my belongings were stuck on an abandoned luggage cart or strewn across the tarmac, I could see in almost real time that my suitcase was still chilling at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. I was able to calmly tell the airline my bag didn't make the flight, and it made arrangements to have it delivered to me a few days later. Apple AirTags are all about peace of mind By itself, an AirTag isn't much. A smooth, round, 1.26-inch puck that looks like a glossy white breath mint, it sinks to the bottom of a bag or dangles from a key chain (with a compatible key ring, sold separately). It's meant to disappear. CNET Activating the AirTag was a simple process of pairing with my iPhone. And then, because it obviously doesn't really do anything out of the box, I forgot about it. But the next time I couldn't find my keys? Sorcery. My iPhone didn't just tell me they were somewhere nearby -- it walked me directly to them, thanks to the AirTag's built-in Ultra Wideband chip. Suddenly, all that time I'd spent retracing my steps and overturning couch cushions in the past felt like ancient history. Now I have AirTags in or attached to every significant item I'd want to keep track of: My everyday laptop bag, my camera backpack, the suitcase I use most when traveling, my key chain, my car and a smaller sling bag I take on walks. I can pull up the Find My app on any of my Apple devices (or sign in to iCloud on any web browser) and see where my items are and the last time the AirTags registered their locations. Clip an AirTag onto a bag or bury it in the depths. Sarah Tew/CNET AirTags aren't just for my everyday items. People I know in the movie business tell me that AirTags are tossed into nearly every bag and Pelican crate, not solely to ensure that the valuable equipment inside doesn't walk away but also to quickly differentiate equipment amid similar-looking containers. Some of my friends also attach AirTags to their pets' collars (though experts say there are better ways to track your pets). AirTags are also useful for things that you want to keep close by Being able to detect my luggage a continent away provided a sense of relief, to be sure. But at the local level, my AirTags will also trigger an alert when I get too far away from them. For example, if I accidentally forget my camera bag in the car when I stop somewhere for lunch, a Find My notification appears telling me I've left it behind. It works the same for newer AirPods models as well. Sharing is now a big part of AirTag tracking My family has two cars, and I wanted to be able to track them both. But it used to be inconvenient to pair the AirTag in the car my wife drives to her iPhone (and the one in my car to my iPhone). To guard against unwanted tracking, an AirTag will notify nearby iPhones of its existence, so whenever I drove my wife's car without her in it, I got a notification that an AirTag was traveling with me. (If the owner is near the AirTag, the alert does not appear.) However, ever since the release of iOS 17, AirTags are shareable, which solves this problem. I shared my AirTag with my wife, and she with me, so regardless of which car I'm driving, I can find it more easily in a crowded parking lot without getting constant, unnecessary alerts. Share an AirTag's location with someone you trust. Screenshots by CNET A more recent feature is the ability to temporarily share an AirTag's location with someone I trust. In my luggage example above, if the suitcase was in the airport with me, but the airport's staff hadn't yet been able to locate it (not uncommon during peak travel times), I could share its location with an attendant who could quickly retrieve it from areas inaccessible to the public. Apple Apple AirTag specs Diameter: 1.26 inches (31.9 mm) 1.26 inches (31.9 mm) Height: 0.31 inches (8 mm) 0.31 inches (8 mm) Weight: 0.39 ounces (11 g) 0.39 ounces (11 g) Splash, water and dust resistance: Rated IP67 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes) Rated IP67 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes) Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth 5.0 Battery: Replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery The only minor annoyance about AirTags An AirTag includes Bluetooth, the U1 Ultra Wideband chip and an NFC chip to share basic details when it's in Lost Mode. That's all powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery, which in my experience lasts roughly a year before I need to replace it. I get notified when a battery is starting to get low, although there's no gauge to see how much is left until it goes into the red. And it's easy to change batteries. But my small fleet of AirTags means I need to swap multiple ones each year. I buy them in packs of 20 that I slowly work through. The CR2032 battery in an AirTag can easily be replaced. Patrick Holland/CNET AirTags also make great gifts Apple AirTags consistently appear in our gift guides throughout the year because you can always find another use for one. They're often reduced in price when sold in packs of four. And there's an ever-growing ecosystem of ways to mount them, from sturdy vaults that adhere to a car to discrete fabric holders that will keep your favorite classic bomber jacket from flying away. Whenever I show someone how I use AirTags on a bag or keychain, I kind of wish I had a pocket full of AirTags to hand out because once someone sees how it works, they're sold. When will this deal expire? We don't know how long this deal will last. We saw four-packs available at this discounted price earlier this year, but it could expire at any time without notice. I recommend placing your order while you can be sure to get this price, because I'm confident you'll find new uses for them once you have a few.
