6 Upcoming Dividend Increases
I focus on companies with consistent dividend growth, using a blend of the U.S. Dividend Champions list and NASDAQ data for my selections. This week's highlighted group averages a 5.9% dividend increase and a 19.5-year streak, but none outperformed the SCHD ETF over the past decade. While SCHD remains my benchmark for dividend growth and total return, I look for individual stocks that can deliver significant alpha over it.

Portland General Electric: Good Price For A Utility, I'll Use A Simple Leverage
Portland General Electric has a narrow moat based on its monopoly in Oregon, and an estimated rate base growth of 7%+ through 2029, fueled by their Industrial segment. With 5.2% dividend yield, 5%+ dividend growth, and ~23% undervaluation, PGE is above my 20% threshold for a new position in a regulated utility. I have a mix of shares and short Put positions in utilities for now, and I will start an ~2.6x levered Call position for PGE, since it seems more undervalued.
