Summary

  • The count for next week is down slightly from 89 though the increases are up.
  • This is the list of dividend stocks from the popular U.S. Dividend Champion, Challenger, Contender ("CCC") list that are going ex-dividend next week.
  • The CCC list is the exhaustive list of U.S. companies that have a proven record of raising their dividends every year. Companies must demonstrate 5+ years of consecutive.
  • The list is cross referenced with upcoming dividend information from the NASDAQ to create the summary data listed below.

Introduction

The information presented below was created based on combining the "U.S. Dividend Champion" spreadsheet compiled by David Fish hosted here with upcoming dividend information from the Nasdaq. This meshes metrics about companies with dividend growth history with upcoming dividend payments (and whether those payments are increasing). These lists highlight the companies with a minimum 5-year dividend growth history.

There are companies that, for various reasons, do not appear in the more storied "Dividend Aristocrats" list. The list here is more exhaustive and may contain companies that otherwise may fly below the radar.

What this provides is an opportunity for an investor to buy more shares prior to an upcoming ex-dividend date if they so desire. I'm not suggesting a short-term dividend capture strategy but rather getting shares or increasing a stake prior to the market readjusting to the new, higher dividend rate. If you are looking to own shares short term, be aware you may be on the hook for a tax for the dividend.

Lastly, the ex-dividend date listed is the date you need to have hit the "buy" button by. If the date is a Tuesday, you need to have purchased (or already owned) shares by market close on Monday. Be aware that for any stock going ex-dividend on a Monday (or Tuesday if Monday may be a holiday), you must own it by the prior Friday.

Happy to see one of my favorites - /symbol/TPL made your list. The Yield isn't great, but the did triple the dividend, up 200% per your list, from $0.35 to $1.05. In addition they announced a Special Dividend of $3.00/share, making the total upcoming dividend $4.05/share, or a 1057% increase! ;-)

"DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Texas Pacific Land Trust (NYSE:TPL) announced today that its Board of Trustees has declared a cash dividend of $1.05 per sub-share, three times the amount of the prior year, payable March 16, 2018 to sub-shareholders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2018. This is the fifteenth consecutive year that the declared dividend has increased. Additionally, the Trustees declared a special dividend of $3.00 per sub-share payable March 16, 2018 to sub-shareholders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2018.

Texas Pacific Land Trust is not a REIT"

March 01, 2017 TPL shares closed at $298.19 and are now at $539.08; gain of +80% in one year! Great to have growing share price AND growing dividend.

Ok, but are they profitable? MarketSmith shows ROE (Return on Equity) of +124%, and Pre-Tax Margin of 91.9%; adding these together and getting above 50 is usually a good sign; for TPL it is an amazingly high 215.5%! ;-)

Ok, am a little biased as I own a few shares, but this is a cash generating entity since they own surface land and mineral rights. Oil and Gas Operating companies lease the rights to develop the minerals (oil and gas) beneath the surface, pay ALL the expenses, and give a percentage of the revenue to TPL. Hence the term 'mail box checks'! Royalty checks are mailed / sent / deposited to TPL and essentially all they have to do is cash it! What is their biggest Expense: Buying back shares and Federal Taxes!

Beware that the past is not an accurate prediction of the future, but personally like owning shares in this company. IF they ever get the Yield up to where more Dividend Investors own the stock, then what will likely happen to the share price?

Personal opinion only - not investment advice - long shares of TPL at present, ownership may change at any time without notice, etc.

Yes that completely surprised me, I don't follow them and had to triple check that was indeed a valid number. Very cool congrats on your upcoming pay raise :)

It’s easy to post high ROE when you’re highly leveraged

What? Where did that come from? TPL has essentially ZERO Debt! Suggest you check again before posting!
