Each day, companies and funds across the globe announce upcoming dividend payouts. In our Dividend Payout Changes and Announcements tool, you’ll find all of the dividend increases, decreases, initiations, suspensions, updates and regular dividend announcements for a given day.
Below, we present an analysis of the securities that announced an increase in dividends and are going ex-dividend this week. The latest payout is compared to the most recent payout before the dividend increase.
Following is a snapshot of the 15 major securities, out of 30, that are going ex-dividend this week with an increased payout. If investors simply purchase the security prior to the ex-dividend date and then sell it either on the ex-dividend date or at some point afterward, they will be able to receive the dividend in their account.
