I monitor dividend announcements for more than 1,200 dividend-paying stocks and report on them in a weekly article series published at Seeking Alpha.
This week, 5 stocks in my database announced dividend increases, while one cut its dividend by 36% and one declared a special dividend.
Celebrating the announced increases for stocks I own is satisfying, but a dividend increase carries a broader signal: it tells me a company has the cash flow and confidence to sustain a higher baseline payout. On the flip side, a dividend cut, or even an unexpected token increase, can signal that the company's outlook may be weakening.
Tracking dividend announcements and auditing the safety profiles of the companies announcing them lets me target high-conviction opportunities and avoid potential traps.
By studying dividend-safety data across all announcers, I can highlight stocks worth adding to your watchlist and the warning signs to monitor.
