Dividend Increases: February 18-22, 2019 (Part 1: Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary Sectors)

Last week, 27 of the companies I track announced dividend increases. This three-part article provides a summary of these increases and provides several FASTGraph charts of stocks that exhibit impressive earnings growth.

I like to monitor dividend increases, because companies that regularly increase their dividends are good candidates for analysis and possible investment.

Part 1 of this article covers dividend increases announced for stocks in the Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Part 2 and Part 3 will cover dividend increases from stocks in the remaining sectors.

The top increase in the Part 1 comes from Texas Roadhouse (TXRH), a restaurant chain founded in 1993 and based in Louisville, Kentucky. TXRH announced an impressive increase of 20% and now yields 1.92% at $62.54 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.
