38 Dividend Increases Expected In The Next 10 Weeks - Seeking Alpha

38 Dividend Increases Expected In The Next 10 Weeks - Seeking Alpha: In compiling the Dividend Champions list I get to see which companies are nearing the anniversaries of their previous dividend increases. Since most of these firms raise their payout about the same time every year, I can say with some confidence that they are likely to do so again.

Activity Picking Up

In recent articles in this series, I mentioned that we had passed the very slowest period of increases during the year in terms of declarations, and that the number of approaching dividend increases seemed to be picking up. Of the 45 companies listed in my August 11 article, 15 announced increases and only one plans to pay the same amount for a fifth quarter, so the majority are carried over here, joined by companies with Ex-Dividend Dates in late October and early November.
