Companies that regularly raise their dividend payments show confidence in future earnings growth potential. I monitor dividend increases to identify candidates for further analysis.This past week, eight companies on my watch list announced dividend increases.
Three companies impressed with double-digit percentage increases.
The top increase is from Ingersoll-Rand (IR), a provider of products and services to improve the quality and comfort of air in homes and buildings. IR increased its quarterly dividend by 18% and now yields 2.3% at $92.14 per share.To see details of these increases, please read this article at Seeking Alpha.
As a bonus, I'm including a summary of ex-dividend dates for the next two weeks. Scan the list of stocks to see if there's a stock you want to pick up before the ex-dividend date so you can grab the next dividend.
