Dividend Champions: 14 Increases Expected By February 28 - Seeking Alpha: In compiling the Dividend Champions list (found here).

Anticipating the possible changes in dividend taxation, it appears that many companies that would normally announce increases in January have accelerated those into 2012, hence the relatively small number of January dates below. But a healthy crop of expected increases are expected during February, which coincides with the "forward look" of about 11 weeks for this article.
