Dividend Champions: 16 Increases Expected By January 6 - Seeking Alpha

Dividend Champions: 16 Increases Expected By January 6 - 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 companies raise their payout about the same time every year, I can say with some confidence that they are likely to do so again.

Happy Holidays

In this article, I'm modifying the Expected Increase series to reflect a more reader-friendly format by separating the Champions, Contenders and Challengers into distinct groupings, so please look for the other lists, which I hope will be published about the same time. Leading the way this time, we should see Emerson Electric (EMR) and Vectren (VVC) extend their streaks of more than 50 years of higher dividends, and we can hope to see more generous increases by those two, along with the stocks at the bottom of the list.
