Recent dividend increases
These companies paid more per share on their latest dividend than on the steady payments before it. A raise often signals confidence in future cash flow, although one increase is no guarantee of the next.
How this list is built: US-listed stocks and funds with a regular monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual dividend whose latest payment (ex-dividend in the past 120 days) is higher than the identical payments before it. Funds with naturally varying payouts are skipped, very large one-off jumps are treated as special dividends, and high-yield stocks and funds (8% or more) whose share price fell 10% or more over the past year are left out. Newest first. Refreshed daily from our dividend data.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a dividend increase matter?
Companies usually raise dividends when they expect earnings and cash flow to support a higher payment. A long record of increases is a sign of a durable business.
Is a special dividend an increase?
No. Special dividends are one-time payments. Very large jumps are treated as specials and left off this list.
