This article provides a brief overview of which dividend-paying assets have increased their dividend payouts.

The following table provides results from concordance analysis of historical dividend payouts. The probability of an increased dividend payout is defined as the probability that, when two within-asset payouts are randomly selected, the more recent payout was greater than the earlier payout. Thus, this analysis asks the question: Given two randomly selected payouts, what's the chance that the more recent payout was greater than the earlier payout? 500 iterations were used for calculating the concordance index.
