Not every company is slashing its dividend these days. Some of the market's better performers are easing up on their purse strings and sending more money out to their shareholders.
Readers of Income Investor can appreciate that kind of thinking. So let's take a closer look at four of the companies that inched their payouts higher over the past few days.
Let's start with Monro Muffler Brake
Next, we have Lowe's
Cardinal Health
Finally, let's look at Universal Health Realty Income Trust
Some of these moves may not seem like much, but consider the less savory moves that took place in recent days:
- Monroe Bancorp, clearly not to be confused with Monro Muffler Brake, became the latest bank to slash its dividend to a token $0.01 per share.
- Steelmaker Steel Dynamics
(NASDAQ:STLD) is cutting its quarterly dividend by 25%.
