4 Upcoming Dividend Increases
I track companies with consistent dividend growth, focusing on those with strong financial health and above-average yields versus the S&P 500. This week's highlighted stocks average a 3.1% dividend increase and a 12.5-year growth streak, but only Darden Restaurants stands out for performance. SCHD ETF remains my preferred broad dividend growth holding, outperforming most individual names except Darden over the past decade.

General Mills: The Opportunity Cost Of Holding The Stock Is Too High
General Mills continues to struggle with sales growth and declining EPS, underperforming the market despite its reputation for stability and dividends. Recent earnings confirm lackluster performance, with organic sales expected to remain flat and profit forecasted to drop further in FY2026. Valuation appears cheap on the surface, but poor growth prospects and high PEG ratio suggest the stock is overvalued and could fall further.
