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, 33 stocks in my database announced dividend increases (including three 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. 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 Dividend Champions and companies with dividend growth streaks under 10 years, while Part 2 covers Dividend Contenders, companies with dividend growth streaks of 10 to 24 years.
