Summary

• Companies that regularly increase dividends show confidence in the potential growth of future earnings.
• One way to identify dividend growth stocks for further analysis is to monitor dividend increases.
• In the past week, 18 companies on my watch list announced dividend increases, including 2 of the stocks I own.

To see the list of dividend growth stocks that announced dividend increases in the past week, please read this article at Seeking Alpha.

The list includes six stocks with double-digit percentage increases, including one of my DivGro stocks with a 12.28% increase! Another of my DivGro stocks had a more modest increase of 4.88%, but I'll take anything that beats inflation!
