Companies can only increase their dividends regularly if earnings grow sufficiently.
Monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch list helps me identify candidates for further analysis.
Recently, 22 companies on my watch list decided to increase their dividends, including 3 of the stocks I hold in my portfolio.
