Dividend Raises & Cuts For September 2016

Dividend growth investing is a popular model followed by the investing community to build assets. Companies which not only pay dividends, but raise them year after year have been shown to perform better overall for investor returns. A big part of this involves capturing the details.
As part of my due diligence, I closely monitor all companies that raise dividends (or cut them) and this article shares the dividend amount changes announced by companies.
Note that only companies with a market cap of $2B+ are included, as the list of small/micro cap companies is too long to include here.
September dividend raises and cuts can be found here.
Raises and cuts from previous months (starting Jan. 2016) can be found in this document.
