Dividend checks continue to get fatter in Corporate America, as more companies jack up their distribution rates.
Readers of the Income Investor newsletter can certainly appreciate that kind of thinking. Let's take a closer look at some of the companies that inched their payouts higher this past week.
Let's start with Washington Federal
The regional banker with $13.4 billion in assets is making its quarterly dividend more interesting, hiking it 33% to $0.08 a share. Washington Federal juiced up its yield despite announcing the acquisition of a failed Phoenix-based bank just a few days earlier.
