Latest Dividend Increases: 3 Stocks Income Investors Should Watch $MDLZ $PVL $MET

Dividend investors are always looking for companies and securities that can generate growing income. This week, three notable dividend increases stand out: Mondelez International (MDLZ), MetLife Series A (MET-PA), and Permianville Royalty Trust (PVL).

Each offers a different approach to dividend income.

1. Mondelez International (MDLZ)

Mondelez raised its quarterly dividend from $0.50 to $0.52 per share, an increase of 4%.

With its portfolio of major consumer brands, MDLZ remains one of the more traditional dividend growth stocks on this list. For long-term investors, consistent dividend increases can be an important part of building a growing passive-income portfolio.

2. MetLife Series A (MET-PA)

MetLife's Floating Rate Preferred Series A increased its quarterly payout to approximately $0.3147 per share.

With a yield of around 6.2%, MET-PA may attract investors looking for higher current income. However, preferred stocks have different characteristics from common stocks, and the floating-rate structure means the payout can change.

3. Permianville Royalty Trust (PVL)

PVL delivered the biggest percentage increase.

Its monthly distribution increased from $0.015 to $0.027 per unit, representing an impressive 80% increase.

That headline yield may look attractive, but investors should remember that royalty-trust distributions can fluctuate significantly depending on oil and natural-gas production and commodity prices.

What Dividend Investors Should Take Away

These three securities highlight why investors shouldn't look at dividend yield alone.

MDLZ is the clearest traditional dividend-growth story. MET-PA offers higher current income through a preferred-stock structure, while PVL provides variable monthly distributions with considerably more uncertainty.

For a long-term dividend portfolio, sustainable cash flow, balance-sheet strength and the ability to maintain or grow distributions are often more important than simply finding the stock with the highest yield.
