Dividend Increases: January 28-February 1, 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.

Last week, 27 companies in the CCC List announced dividend increases. A few DivGro stocks will pay out higher dividends!

I monitor dividend increases because it helps me to identify candidates for further analysis. Companies that regularly raise their dividend payments show confidence in future earnings growth potential.

The top increase is from Independent Bank Group (IBTX), a bank holding company for Independent Bank, which provides a range of commercial banking products and services to businesses, professionals, and individuals in the United States. IBTX announced a spectacular increase of 79% and now yields 1.86% at $52.78 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.
