I love to kick off the new trading week by taking a quick peek at companies that have just hiked their dividends. It's not just about the money. A company that is easing up on its pocketbook probably has improving fundamentals to back up that generosity.
Readers of the Income Investor newsletter can certainly appreciate that kind of thinking. Let's take a closer look at four of the companies that inched their payouts higher over the past few trading days.
Let's start with Bristol-Myers Squibb
Then we have mutual fund darling Freeport McMoRan
Kayne Anderson
Finally, we have Commercial Metals
