Stocks That Should Raise Dividends Soon

When it comes to investing, there's no such thing as a sure thing. But sometimes you'll discover opportunities that are as close to a sure thing as you're likely to find -- and anticipating those opportunities can be quite profitable. You'll find one such opportunity among one of the hottest sectors in the stock market lately: dividend stocks.

In particular, being able to anticipate which stocks are likely to increase their dividends -- and when those dividend increases will take place -- can give you a leg up on other investors. And with companies that have consistently paid higher dividends year in and year out for decades, you can be reasonably confident that they'll deliver this year as well. Dividend investors pay a lot of attention to companies on the Dividend Aristocrats list, and with good reason. It takes a lot to maintain a history of rising dividends for a quarter century, especially as the economy moves from boom times to recessions and back again.
