Dividend Increases: May 6-10, 2019 (Part 2: Consumer Discretionary And Information Technology Sectors)

Last week, 27 companies in the CCC List announced dividend increases. When so many companies increasing their dividends, I  break up my summary articles into two or more parts. That way, the articles aren't too long and I can include more FASTgraphs charts of stocks with compelling earnings growth.

Part 1 of this three-part article dividend increases announced for stocks in the Industrials and Materials sectors. This is Part 2, which covers dividend increases of stocks in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors. In Part 3, I'll report on dividend increases for the remaining sectors.

The top increase in Part 2 is from Marriott International (MAR), a company that operates, franchises, and licenses hotel, residential, and timeshare properties worldwide. MAR announced an impressive increase of 17% and now yields 1.46% at $131.71 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.
