Dividend Increases: October 14-25, 2019 (Part 1: Utilities And Financials)

In the past two weeks, 23 of the companies I track announced dividend increases. This two-part article provides a summary of these increases and provides several FASTGraph charts of stocks that exhibit impressive earnings growth.

I like monitoring dividend increases because I consider companies that regularly increase their dividends to be candidates for further analysis and possible investment.

Part 1 of this article covers dividend increases announced for stocks in the Utilities and Financials sectors. Part 2 will cover dividend increases of stocks in the remaining sectors.

The top increase in Part 1 comes from ServisFirst Bancshares (SFBS), which operates as the bank holding company for ServisFirst Bank, providing banking services to individual and corporate customers in the United States. SFBS announced an impressive increase of 17% and now yields 1.99% at $34.83 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.
