Top Dividend Raises & Cuts For May 2017

Dividend growth investing is a popular model followed by the investing community to build assets. Companies that not only pay dividends but raise them year after year have been shown to perform better overall for investor returns.
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.
May 2017 dividend raises and cuts can be found here. For the curious, dividend raises and cuts for 2016 can be found here and previous months of 2017 can be found here.
