Digest

As part of my monitoring process, I review the list of dividend increases every week. I usually focus my attention to companies that have raised dividends for at least a decade. It is helpful to see companies I own that keep growing their dividends, years after they have been purchased by me. I also find it helpful to review this list for hidden dividend gems. From there, I review the basic fundamental performance over the preceding decade. I like to see dividend growth which is supported by growth in earnings per share.
