I review the list of dividend increases every week, as part of my portfolio monitoring process. I leverage several of my dividend investing resources for this effort.
I started by reviewing the list of all dividend increases for the week. There were 45 of them. I then narrowed the list down to the companies that have managed to boost dividends for at least ten years in a row. I also focused on companies that had a meaningful combination of yield and dividend growth.
The companies for this week’s review include:
