4 Dividend Stocks Raising Their Dividends And Yields

At some point in the future will we look back at our actions today and refer to them as our greatest missed opportunity? A successful dividend growth strategy takes time. Unfortunately, many income investors don't have the luxury of time on their side and must focus on high-yield investments to meet current expenses. These high-yield investments are often accompanied by high-risk. For those with time, a solid long-term strategy focusing on quality stocks that grow their dividends will treat them well in their retirement years.

Below are several companies that did not miss this opportunity to increase their cash dividends:

Verizon (VZ) recently increased its quarterly dividend 2.1% to $0.61 per share. The dividend is payable Nov. 1, 2019 to stockholders of record on Oct. 10, 2019, with an ex-dividend date of Oct. 9, 2019. The yield based on the new payout is 4.2%.

Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) recently increased its quarterly dividend 11% to $0.78 per share. The dividend is payable Oct. 11, 2019 to stockholders of record on Sep. 20, 2019, with an ex-dividend date of Sep. 19, 2019. The yield based on the new payout is 2.9%.

DMC Global (BOOM) recently increased its quarterly dividend 525% to $0.125 per share. The dividend is payable Oct. 15, 2019 to stockholders of record on Sep. 30, 2019, with an ex-dividend date of Sep. 27, 2019. The yield based on the new payout is 1.2%.
