Dividend Challengers: 10 Increases Expected In The Next 11 Weeks - Seeking Alpha

Dividend Challengers: 10 Increases Expected In The Next 11 Weeks - Seeking Alpha: In compiling the Dividend Champions list.

Since many companies announced dividend increases in conjunction with their annual shareholder meetings in April or May, we typically see a drop-off in the pace of such announcements as summer approaches. Although there are still some corporations that will raise their dividend between now and the end of July (which coincides with the "forward look" of about 11 weeks for this article), we'll probably be seeing fewer in the months ahead.
