A Tale Of 2 Upcoming Dividend Increases
Introduction
This article series is designed to keep investors informed of upcoming dividend increases. For dividend growth investors, this can be an opportunity to start or add to positions prior to a new increased payout. This can be especially important for retirees who live on dividend checks.
The lists I've compiled provide various stats for the stocks that are increasing their dividends next week.
This list is a trimmed-down version only covering dividend increases. A full upcoming dividend calendar is always available here. If you know how this was built and the caveats, feel free to jump down to the lists themselves.

When High Yield Isn't High: After-Tax ETF Returns
Investors love anything claiming to be high yield.
For taxable investors, headline yields are an illusion and this post shows after-tax returns for popular high yield ETFs.
High Yield Bonds
Let’s start with the poster child for high yield ETF investing: iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEARCA: HYG), the $18-billion corporate bond fund.
Graphs are based on current tax rates and assume an investor is in the highest federal bracket and lives in a state with high income taxes.
HYG has compounded at 5% since 2007. After-tax returns have been half of that because corporate bond interest is subject to federal and state tax. A high-income investor in a taxable account could have outperformed HYG with much less risk.

Dividend Growth Stocks Of Tomorrow: The Allstate Corporation
Dividend growth investing is a popular, and largely successful approach to generating wealth over long periods of time. Investors typically do well, focusing on companies with long streaks of dividend increases in part because of the positive qualities a business needs in order to be able to continually afford what is ultimately a cash layout to shareholders. However, many of the companies known as "dividend champions" - those with 25 consecutive years (or more) of dividend growth - are mature companies. By identifying strong companies earlier in their life cycle, we can benefit from strong total returns while these companies build their dividend growth reputation. We will be spotlighting numerous dividend up and comers to identify the best "dividend growth stocks of tomorrow."

Easterly Government Properties: A Stable Portfolio With 4.8%-Yielding Dividend, But Shares Not Cheap
Investment Thesis
Easterly Government Properties (DEA) delivered another in-line quarter in Q2 2019. We like Easterly as most of its portfolio of properties is rented out to the U.S. government agencies with steadily increasing rental revenue. Besides its acquisition strategy, the company also has several active development projects that should contribute to its rental revenue growth in the next few years. Its growth projects are well-supported by its solid balance sheet. The company currently offers a 4.8%-yielding dividend. However, its shares are not cheap right now. We think a pullback will provide a better entry point.
