I’m always on the lookout for firms that consistently raise dividends or spotting trends of increasing dividends. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some companies that raised their dividend payouts in recent weeks!

  • FactSet Research Systems (FDS) raised it’s quarterly dividend by 50% to 18 cents per share.
  • Barrick Gold (ABX) raised it’s dividend semi-annual dividend by 33% to 20 cents per share.
  • PepsiCo (PEP) [Note: I'm a fan of this one] raised its annual dividend by 13% to $1.70 per share.

I’ll be trying to keep track each week of notable firms that are out there raising dividends. As per the usual these aren’t recommendations, but I hope to mark them as candidates for further research. I’ve been interested in Pepsi for some time, but have yet to pull the trigger.
