Analysts rarely put "sell" ratings on S&P 500 stocks. So when they do, it makes sense to listen.

In July, we (my wife and I) received a dividend income total of $4,161.64. My other two Vanguard ETFs – S&P 500 (VOO) and Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) - both paid in July. We had a solid increase month, 3 stocks is fine with me here in 2025. Dividend growth has been soft, so 3 stocks increasing dividends is great with me.

ITW shows segment gains and margin strength, but faces pressure from weak polymers, construction and high debt.

This is my latest article where I provide predictions of upcoming dividend increases from companies with long-term dividend growth histories. Dividend growth in August was strong, with several companies posting double-digit increases, but September is expected to bring mostly mid-single-digit boosts. Tobacco company Altria continued to grow its dividend, extending its growth streak to 56 years with a 4% increase.

Dividend Aristocrats have shown mixed 2025 performance, with some delivering double-digit gains and others lagging, but overall stability remains a hallmark. Dividend growth is robust, with 53 of 69 Aristocrats raising payouts in 2025 and an average growth rate of 5.14%, signaling continued income reliability. My 'Promising Aristocrats' list, focused on undervaluation and projected total return, has outperformed both NOBL and SPY in August.

Illinois Tool Works Inc (NYSE: ITW) has quietly outperformed in recent months, riding the wave of a broader rally in industrials. But renowned investor Josh Brown believes this isn't just a short-term trade – it's a long-term hold.

Every earnings season leaves behind a set of dividend raises, and this one we're now moving past was no exception. Among this season's lifters were two companies that have been hiking their payouts so long and so frequently, they're among the market's very rare Dividend Kings.
