Dividend Increases: January 21-25, 2019 (Part 1: Industrials and Financials Sectors)

This article provides a summary of recent dividend increases. Part 1 covers dividend increases announced for stocks in the Industrials and Financials sectors. Part 2 will cover dividend increases from stocks in the remaining sectors.

This week, 30 companies in the CCC List announced dividend increases. Several DivGro stocks will pay out higher dividends!

Monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch is one way to identify candidates for further analysis. Companies that regularly raise dividends show confidence in the potential growth of future earnings.

The top increase is from Wintrust Financial (WTFC), a financial holding company that operates in the Chicago metropolitan area, southern Wisconsin, and northwest Indiana. WTFC announced a spectacular increase of 32% and now yields 1.37% at $72.61 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.
