I love to kick off the new trading week by taking a quick peek at companies that have just raised their dividends. A company easing up on its pocketbook probably has improving fundamentals to back up its generosity.
Readers of the Income Investor newsletter service 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 week.
We'll start with 3M
Then we have Ameristar Casinos
Wolverine Worldwide
Finally, we have Abbot Labs
Subscribers to the Income Investor service can appreciate the companies sending more and more money to their investors. Income Investor singles out companies that are committed to growing their distributions with market-thumping results.
