AFGE

In this article series, I summarize dividend announcements of the past week. This week, 9 stocks announced dividend increases, including 3 stocks I own. INTU stands out for its robust safety metrics, 15% dividend hike, low payout ratios, and a forward-looking 16.16% dividend growth rate, though fair value estimates diverge. LRCX delivered the largest increase (26.92%) and boasts the highest Quality Score, but its yield is minimal at 0.44% and valuation appears stretched.
