36 Dividend Increases: October 23-27, 2017 (Part 2: Energy And REITs)

Companies that regularly raise their dividend payments show confidence in future earnings growth potential.

Monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch list helps me identify candidates for further analysis.

Last week, 36 companies on my watch list announced dividend increases. Part 1 covered dividend increases of Financials sector stocks. This article is Part 2, which covers the Energy and Real Estate sector stocks that announced dividend increases last week. Part 3 will cover dividend increases from the remaining sectors.

Only one of the Energy and Real Estate sector stocks announced a double-digit percentage increase.

Getty Realty (GTY) is a real estate investment trust that invests in real estate markets of the United States. The REIT focuses on the ownership, leasing, and financing of convenience store and gasoline station properties.  GTY announced an increase of 14.3% and now yields 4.55% at $28.15 per share.
