I track dividend announcements across 1,200+ stocks. This week, 42 companies increased their dividend, including two stocks I own. Part 2 highlights 17 stocks with streaks below 10 years. First BanCorp (FBP) stands out with a 25% dividend hike, 3.65% forward yield, and the highest ACN (23.9), though it trades near fair value. Western Digital (WDC) offers 34.69% upside to fair value and strong safety metrics, but its forward yield is just 0.20% and dividend consistency is weak.

A water utility, a community bank, and a denim maker all raised their dividends this week, but each payout runs on a completely different engine, and only one has the track record to prove it can survive whatever comes next.

MetroCity Bankshares consistently outperforms on earnings and operational metrics, but its stock now trades at nearly 2x tangible book value.
