Summary Of Dividend Changes In Q2 2020

This article provides a summary of dividend changes in the second quarter of 2020 (Q2 2020).

I now co-produce a Dividend Changes series of articles on Seeking Alpha with James Marino Sr of Portfolio Insight.

We monitor dividend change announcements for stocks listed in Dividend Radar, a weekly auto-generated spreadsheet of stocks with dividend streaks of five years or more. Dividend Radar provides up-to-date fundamentals and added value data, including total trailing returns, a fair value indicator, and trailing dividend growth rates.

In preparing for this article, I excluded dividend increases of stocks not in the latest available Dividend Radar list (dated July 10, 2020). In Q2 2020, I covered dividend increases announced by 80 companies. Additionally, 15 companies announced dividend suspensions, and 34 companies decreased their dividend payment.

The top increase in Q2 2020 came from Newmont Corporation (NEM), a company that is engaged in the production and exploration of gold, copper, silver, zinc, and lead.

The article reveals which companies and sectors announced the largest increases, as well as the average dividend increase in Q2 2020.

For more detail and to see how the average dividend increase in Q2 2020 compares with prior quarters, please read this article at Seeking Alpha.
