Companies that regularly increase dividends show confidence in the potential growth of future earnings.Monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch list helps me identify candidates for further analysis.
This week, six companies on my watch list announced dividend increases, including one of the stocks I hold in my portfolio.
Two of the stocks announced double-digit percentage increases.
The top increase is from Ingredion, Inc (INGR) with an impressive increase of 20%! The stock now yields 1.92% at $124.84 per share.
The runner-up is Umpqua Holdings Corporation (UMPQ), a stock that now yields 3.96% at $18.17. UMPQ increased their dividend by 12.5%
