Summary
- Companies that regularly raise their dividend payments show confidence in future earnings growth potential.
- I monitor dividend increases for stocks on my watch list of dividend growth stocks to identify candidates for further analysis.
- This past week, 9 companies on my watch list decided to increase their dividends, including 1 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 four stocks with double-digit percentage increases! None of my DivGro stocks announced any dividend increases this time around.

Disney increasing their dividend is interesting. They have the cash flow to do that for a while and I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI really love the nearly 10% increase! DIS has a low payout ratio, so they can afford several such increases in the next few years! I've just increased my stake in the company and will grab the semi-annual dividend in a couple of days!
