Unilever (UN, UL) raised their dividend 12% to .3585 EUR. A quick look at their investor page shows a planned dividend of .38 USD per ADR planned for June. This represents an increase over last quarter, although I guess its subject to currency exchanges as well, I can see that their dividend history has fluctuated over time.

One that slipped through the cracks, Omega Healthcare (OHI) upped their dividend by .01 c, or 1.6% over the previous quarter. Not much on a percentage basis, but they seem intent on upping every quarter as opposed to annually, so i'm OK with it.
Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE:OHI) declares $0.63/share quarterly dividend, 1.6% increase from prior dividend of $0.62.

I believe this was missed from April 27th. I'm not a trader but I've been in and out of this equity twice in the last few years due to circumstances beyond my control.

And proceeded to retreat in stock price today (to be fair so did TRP). I think all these clowns are falling over each other in a race on dividend increases... without due attention to the balance sheet. I hope we are not in for a rude awakening someday
