Summary Of Dividend Increases In Q3-2019

In this article, I summarize the dividend increases announced in the third quarter of 2019 (Q3-2019), as summarized in my weekly Dividend Increases article series. These articles cover dividend increases for a selection of dividend growth stocks in the CCC list. The following screens determine the selection:

     • Dividend Yield ≥ 1.0%
     • Market cap ≥ $1 billion
     • No stocks that are being acquired
     • No Over-The-Counter or Pink Sheet stocks

In preparing for this article, I excluded dividend increases of stocks not in the latest available CCC list (dated 09/30/19) and those that no longer pass the above screens.

Exactly 125 companies in the latest CCC list announced dividend increases in Q3-2019.

The top increase is from Goldman Sachs (GS) with a 47% increase.

GS operates as an investment banking, securities, and investment management company worldwide. It operates in four segments: Investment Banking, Institutional Client Services, Investing & Lending, and Investment Management. The company serves corporations, financial institutions, governments, and individuals. GS was founded in 1869 and is headquartered in New York, New York.
