Dividend Increases: December 31, 2018-January 11, 2019

This article provides a summary of recent dividend increases. It also provides a summary of upcoming ex-dividend dates.

I monitor dividend increases of dividend growth stocks in the CCC List, but I apply several screens to reduce the number of stocks to track. The main screens are stocks with a market cap of at least $1 billion, and stocks with dividend yields of at least 1.0%.

In the last week, four companies I track announced dividend increases. Two of these stocks have double-digit percentage year-over-year dividend increases.

The top increase is from Watsco (WSO), a company that distributes air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. WSO announced a solid increase of 10% and now yields 4.47% at $143.02 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.
