Each week, stocks, funds and REITs announce upcoming dividend payouts. Use our new tool, Propelor, to track your future dividend income and better manage your portfolio when common stocks like Stanley Black & Decker increases dividend.
Below, we present an analysis of key securities that announced an increase in dividends and are going ex-dividend this week.
