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

Dividend Challengers: 11 Increases Expected In The Next 11 Weeks - Seeking Alpha: In compiling the Dividend Champions list (found here: http://dripinvesting.org/Tools/Tools.asp) 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. I have modified the Expected Increase series to reflect a more SA-friendly format by separating the Champions (25 or more years of higher dividends), Contenders (10-24 years), and Challengers (5-9 years) into distinct groupings, so please look for the other articles.

Dividend Challengers Smackdown XXXVIII - Seeking Alpha

Dividend Challengers Smackdown XXXVIII - Seeking Alpha: Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)

Dividend Challengers Smackdown XXXVIII

In the most recent installments of the Smackdown series, I screened the Dividend Champions (which can be found here: http://dripinvesting.org/Tools/Tools.asp) by high Estimated 5-year Earnings-Per-Share Growth and 5-year Dividend Growth Rate and, last month, by low Debt/Equity and high Return On Equity (or ROE).

(Note that I have separated the Champions, Contenders, and Challengers into different articles to fit more closely into the format preferred by Seeking Alpha. Champions are companies that have paid higher dividends for at least 25 straight years; Contenders have streaks of 10-24 years; Challengers have streaks of 5-9 years. I use the same Roman numeral for all three articles.)
