🔔 Dividend Watch – Week 23 Recap (June 2–6, 2025)
In an otherwise quiet week, 8 U.S.-listed companies announced dividend increases — and while the volume may be modest, the quality of some names more than makes up for it.
💥 Four of the hikes were double-digit increases — always a sign of strength.
Two of them immediately caught our attention: strong balance sheets, sustained free cash flow, and growing pricing power in their niches.
But the real surprise?
A newcomer from the SaaS world delivering an almost-double-digit hike — a bold move for a company still in growth mode. We’re excited about its trajectory, and we’re breaking down the full story exclusively for our paying readers.
😬 UNH: Big Name, Small Hike
Among this week’s dividend raisers, UnitedHealth Group (UNH) stood out — but not in a good way. With a market cap of $275 billion, it’s by far the largest name on the list. But after years of delivering double-digit increases, this year’s 5.2% raise feels underwhelming.
Still, to be fair, this marks UNH’s 16th consecutive year of dividend growth — a testament to its resilience, if not its current enthusiasm for shareholders.
Below, we highlight all 8 dividend hikes — and zoom in on three hidden gems that are flying under the radar but may deserve a spot on your watchlist, including a two niche plays: one in pet care, the other a REIT focused on RV parks and campgrounds — both offering income with a growth twist. In fact: they hiked their dividend by double digits last week, and one of them is actually trading at an all time high.
