Dividend Increases: June 17-21, 2019

I monitor dividend increases for stocks on my watch list in order to identify candidates for further analysis.

Companies can only increase their dividends regularly and sustainably if they grow earnings sufficiently.

This article summarizes dividend increases announced last week.
One of the stocks I own announced an 8% increase.

The top increase is from Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), a diversified financial services company operating in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina. FITB announced an increase of 9.1% and now yields 3.48% at $27.39 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.
