5 Stocks Pumping Up Their Dividend

Dividend sustainability is paramount for the high-yield investor. Having a stock cut its dividend could potentially crush their income. A high-yield investor is less concerned about dividend growth than maintaining the current high-yield. Most traditional dividend growth stocks pay a moderate to low yield, thus sustainability is not enough - the dividend growth investor also expects substantial and consistent growth.

Below are several companies not only sustaining their dividends, but growing them:

AbbVie (ABBV) recently increased its quarterly dividend 11% to $1.07 per share. The dividend is payable Feb. 15, 2019 to stockholders of record on Jan. 15, 2019, with an ex-dividend date of Jan. 14, 2019. The yield based on the new payout is 4.8%.

STAG Industrial (STAG) recently increased its quarterly dividend 0.8% to $0.119167 per share. The dividend is payable Feb. 15, 2019 to stockholders of record on Jan. 31, 2019, with an ex-dividend date of Jan. 30, 2019. The yield based on the new payout is 5.5%.

Gladstone Land (LAND) recently increased its quarterly dividend 0.2% to $0.0.4445 per share. The dividend is payable Jan. 31, 2019 to stockholders of record on Jan. 18, 2019, with an ex-dividend date of Jan. 17, 2019. The yield based on the new payout is 4.4%.

Genesis Energy (GEL) recently increased its quarterly dividend 1.9% to $0.54 per share. The dividend is payable Feb. 14, 2019 to stockholders of record on Jan. 31, 2019, with an ex-dividend date of Jan. 30, 2019. The yield based on the new payout is 10.6%.

Selecting stocks with increasing dividends is critical for an income growth strategy. The above list contains stocks that recently raised their dividends; it is not a list of recommend buys. As always, due diligence should be performed before buying or selling any stock.
