2 Dividend Increases: December 18-22, 2017

Companies can only raise their dividends regularly if earnings grow sufficiently. One way to identify dividend growth stocks for further analysis is to monitor dividend increases.

Only 2 companies on my watch list announced dividend increases this week.

Neither of these increases was double-digit percentage increases.

The top increase is from Pfizer (PFE), one of the world's largest pharmaceutical firms. PFE increased its dividend by 6.25% and now yields 3.76% at $36.14 per share.
