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 T. Rowe Price
The mutual fund giant has been attracting welcome attention from growth investors for its timely investments in Facebook and Netflix
However, T. Rowe Price itself hasn't forgotten about its more conservative income investors. The stock's new quarterly dividend of $0.34 a share is a 10% improvement over its earlier rate. Shareholders should be used to this by now. T. Rowe Price has now declared higher disbursements for 27 years in a row.
