Value Investing News

I typically try to summarize each week’s dividend increases in the news by outlining the company that raised distributions and whether it is an achiever or not. Just because I list a stock in an article however does not mean I am recommending it.

There have always been great companies that stand head-and-shoulders above their peers and the competition. Just as all great companies have have something in common, great dividend companies also have something in common.

This week’s distribution increases were mainly focused on two of the energy majors and several master limited partnerships. In one occasion with master limited partnerships both the general and the limited partners received distribution increases, while in another only the general partners received a raise in quarterly distributions.
