I believe that those companies could have a well running business and could have a better performance in the long-run.
Below is a current list of companies that have announced a dividend increase within the recent week. In total, 5 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 2 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 17.0 percent.

the closed-end debt industry. Three of the growth stocks have a current buy or better
recommendation.
