3 Dividend Increases: October 2-6, 2017

Companies can only increase their dividends regularly if earnings grow sufficiently.

I monitor dividend increases for stocks on my watch list of dividend growth stocks to identify candidates for further analysis.

Recently, three companies on my watch list announced dividend increases.

None of these stocks announced double-digit dividend increases.

Topping the list is RPM International (RPM), a company headquartered in Medina, Ohio, that manufactures, markets, and sells specialty chemical products. RPM announced an increase of 6.67%. The stock now yields 2.48% at $51.63 per share.

For details about all this week's dividend increases, please see this article at Seeking Alpha.
