Companies that regularly increase dividends show confidence in future earnings growth potential. I monitor dividend increases for dividend growth stocks to identify candidates for further analysis.In the past week, five companies decided to increase their dividends, including one of my DivGro holdings.
Three of the dividend increases are double-digit percentage increases.
The top increase is from Glacier Bancorp (GBCI), a bank holding company that provides commercial banking services in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Washington. The company announced an impressive increase of 13%, so GBCI now yields 2.69% at $38.68 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.
