Dividend Increases: February 11-15, 2019 (Part 1: Information Technology, Real Estate, and Financials Sectors)

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. Companies that regularly raise their dividend payments show confidence in future earnings growth potential.

This two-part article provides a summary of recent dividend increases. Part 1 covers dividend increases announced for stocks in the Information Technology, Real Estate, and Financials sectors. Part 2 will cover dividend increases from stocks in the remaining sectors.

The top increase in the Information Technology, Real Estate, and Financials sectors comes from Rexford Industrial Realty (REXR), a real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. REXR announced a strong increase of 16% and now yields 2.11% at $35.02 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.
