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, 32 stocks in my database announced dividend increases (including three I own), while one cut its dividend by 36%, and three 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. I can also highlight stocks worth adding to your watchlist and the warning signs to watch for.
Celebrating announced increases for stocks I own is satisfying, but a dividend increase sends a broader signal: it shows 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 a weakening outlook.
This week's article comes in two parts, published on Seeking Alpha. Part 1 covers companies with dividend growth streaks of 10 years or more, while Part 2 covers companies with dividend growth streaks under 10 years.
