Companies that regularly raise their dividend payments show confidence in future earnings growth potential. Monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch is one way to identify candidates for further analysis.This past week, four companies on my watch list decided to increase their dividends, including one of the stocks I own.
Two of the dividend increases are double-digit percentage increases.
The top increase is from Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL), a company based in Miami, Florida, that operates cruises under various brands, including Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises. RCL announced a solid increase of 17% and now yields 2.25% at $124.36 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.
