Just got back from some travel and catching up on things. I don't believe the following increases have been mentioned.
  • ADP Increases Cash Dividend; Marks 43rd Consecutive Year of Dividend Increases Nasdaq:ADP
    The board of directors of ADP (Nasdaq:ADP), approved a $0.06 increase in the quarterly cash dividend to an annual rate of $2.52 per share, Carlos Rodriguez, ADP’s president and chief executive officer, announced today. The increased cash dividend marks the 43rd consecutive year in which ADP, a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, has raised its quarterly dividend.

    “Throughout ADP’s long and successful history, we have been committed to our shareholder friendly actions. There is no better evidence of our commitment to our shareholders than our 43-year track record of increasing dividends,” said John Jones, chairman of ADP’s board of directors. “This year’s 10.5% increase in our quarterly dividend is a strong signal of the board’s confidence in ADP’s future,” said Carlos Rodriguez.
  • Enerflex Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results and Increased Quarterly Dividend Toronto Stock Exchange:EFX
    Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2017, Enerflex declared a quarterly dividend of $0.095 per share, payable on January 11, 2018, to shareholders of record on November 24, 2017. This annualized dividend of $0.38 represents a 12% increase.

I agree. There has been far too much negativity and pessimism around both of these issues, ENB and ENF. They are doing fine, but the market seems to want to punish them for the slightest indiscretions. They keep rewarding me, and I use their services. Not sure what else to say: STFU and appreciate!

Sadly, no. I'm already overweight banks just holding 3 of them, no room at the inn for BMO .... :)

(although I do own a BMO ETF.. so I suppose I am a net contributor to YOUR dividend increase... :lol: )

I probably need more coffee, or to rub the sleep out of my eyes but, unless I am mistaken,

Alaris Royalty is announcing a distribution increase for 2018: 5 cents followed by 8 cents?
Alaris is expecting an increase in annual distributions of over $2.0 million effective January 1, 2018 (subject to final confirmation of audited numbers) as a result of expected net positive distribution resets. After tax, an increase to distributable cash per share of approximately $0.05 is expected for fiscal 2018 from the positive distribution resets and a further approximately $0.08 per share as a result of the Additional Federal Resources Contribution, the Additional Sandbox Contribution and from the pending US$15.0 million transaction announced earlier in this release.
Ahh, I think this is it:
The cumulative impact of today’s announcements are a $0.13 cent (after tax) increase in distributable cash per share as well as a run rate payout ratio below 90%.

I am thinking now that maybe I am reading the Alaris announcement wrong. "Distributable" does not imply that the cash will be distributed (yet). However the announcement does indicate that management feels dividends are safe, and perhaps an increase is on the way in 2018?
