Slow Week for Dividend Increases

(via www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com)

The past week was one of the slowest for dividend increases for many months. In the meantime the number of dividend cuts keeps increasing. Just last week Cedar Fair LP (FUN), a dividend achiever which owns and operates 11 amusement and water parks in the United States and Canada, cut its quarterly distribution in half to $0.25/share. This ended the Sandusky Ohio based company’s streak of 20 years of consistent dividend increases.
