3 Dividend Increases: August 27-31, 201

Companies that regularly raise dividends show confidence in the potential growth of future earnings. One way to identify dividend growth stocks for further analysis is to monitor dividend increases.

In the past week, only three companies on my watch list declared dividend increases.

Two of the dividend increases are double-digit percentage increases.

The top increase is from TFS Financial (TFSL), a company that provides retail consumer banking services in the states of Ohio and Florida in the United States. TFSL announced a spectacular increase of 47% and now yields 6.48% at $15.44 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.
