This month, I considered dividend growth [DG] stocks with Dividend Safety scores of 8.0 or higher, forward yields of 2.5% or higher, and trading at or below my fair value estimate. I present the top ten candidates ranked by quality score.

Dividend Announcements: September 26 - October 2, 2026

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, 7 stocks in my database announced dividend increases (including one I own), and two declared special dividends.

Tracking dividend announcements and auditing the safety profiles of the companies announcing them lets me target high-conviction opportunities and avoid potential traps.
