Dividend Champions: 17 Increases Expected By April 30 [The Coca-Cola Company, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Kimberly Clark Corp, Genuine Parts Company, The Chubb Corporation, Diebold Incorporated, Raven Industries, Inc., HB Fuller Co] - 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 companies 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, which I hope will be published about the same time.

You May Think That The Market Is Overvalued But These Dividend Champions Are Not: Part 1 - Seeking Alpha

You May Think That The Market Is Overvalued But These Dividend Champions Are Not: Part 1 - Seeking Alpha: It has come to my attention that after the stock market's recent strong advance, many investors now believe that the market (and most stocks for that matter) is overvalued. Based on extensive research, I disagree. On the other hand, I do acknowledge that many common stocks today are more highly valued than they were at the beginning of 2011. However, the market, in the general sense (at least as measured by the S&P 500), is perhaps fully valued or even moderately overvalued. But valuations today are nowhere near a "bubble level" as many believe or would like us to believe.
