Companies that regularly increase dividends show confidence in future earnings growth potential.I like monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch list of dividend growth stocks because I consider such stocks to be candidates for further analysis.
Last week, 4 companies declared dividend increases.
The top increase is from New Jersey Resources (NJR), an energy services holding company that provides regulated gas distribution, and retail and wholesale energy services. NJR announced an increase of 7% and now yields 2.40% at $47.40 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.
