Companies that regularly increase dividends show confidence in future earnings growth potential.
I like monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch list of dividend growth stocks because I consider such stocks to be candidates for further analysis.
Last week, fourteen companies on my watch list announced dividend increases, including one of the stocks I own in my portfolio.
To see the list of dividend growth stocks that announced dividend increases in the past week, please read this article at Seeking Alpha.Two stocks announced double-digit percentage increases, 17%, and 11%. Realty Income Corporation (O) is the one DivGro stock that announced a new dividend. This the company's 90th dividend increase since Realty Income's listing on the NYSE in 1994.
Includes: AOS, CMS, ED, EPR, EQM, FAST, FIBK, KALU, MBWM, O, TLLP, TLP, WAFD, WES

There have been quite a few raises lately.... maybe it's just that time of the year?
ReplyDeleteIts the financial year-end for many companies, so we can expect lots of raises!
DeleteTwo on the raise list I own, O and ED. This time of the year is our Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right! I love it when stocks in my portfolio announce dividend increases. Getting paid more for just owning the stocks is sweet!
DeleteNone that I own, but always great news for any dividend investors. Proves once again that our strategy is working! ;-)
