Dividend Contenders: 14 Increases Expected By The End Of August - Seeking Alpha

Dividend Contenders: 14 Increases Expected By The End Of August - Seeking Alpha: In compiling the Dividend Champions list (found here) 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.

Quiet Time Continues

After dividend increases that coincided with annual shareholder meetings in April or May, we started to see a drop-off in the pace of such announcements. Although there are still corporations that will raise their dividend between now and the end of August (which coincides with the "forward look" of about 11 weeks for this article), we'll probably continue to see fewer in the months ahead.
