Dividend Increases

Dividend increases and the related distributions can bring quick cash to investors.

Companies that bring the best payout in the long run are the ones that not only pay a generous dividend, but increase it regularly. Frequent dividend increases prove to shareholders the company is growing — the more dividend increases a company provides, the more likely it is to continue.

In contrast, a company with a stagnant dividend can be a poor choice as a long-term hold for investors.

Organized below are several dividend increases by public companies, sortable by number of consecutive dividend increases, dividend yield, percentage increases and more.
