Dividend Increases: February 1-7, 2020 (Part 1)

I monitor dividend increases for stocks in the Dividend Champions List [CCC list]. The CCC list is separated into three categories based on how long companies have maintained their streak of annually increasing dividends: Champions (25+ years), Contenders (10- 24 years), and Challengers (5-9 years).

In the past week, 32 companies in the CCC list decided to increase their dividends, including four of my DivGro holdings. In Part 1 of this article, I share dividend increases announced by Champions and Contenders. Please see Part 2 of this article for coverage of the Dividend Challengers.

The largest increase among the Champions and Contenders comes from Activision Blizzard (ATVI), a company that develops, publishes, and sells interactive software products and entertainment content for the console, personal computer, and mobile platforms. ATVI announced an impressive increase of 11% and now yields 0.67% at $61.53 per share.

To see details of the increases announced by the Champions and Challengers last week, 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.
