Dividend Growth Stocks Going Ex-Div October 2nd-6th

Introduction As a dividend growth investor, I am always trying to track both stocks that I own and those on my watchlist. I'm mostly interested in companies that have a historical record growing their payments over time. One particular angle of interest is knowing when these companies pay their dividends (and if they are set to increase).
This data is provided by analyzing the "U.S. Dividend Champion" spreadsheet compiled by David Fish hosted here. That data is cross-referenced with upcoming dividend information from the Nasdaq.
What I'm able to provide then is a view of the companies with track records of rewarding shareholders that will be paying out next week. This invaluable list will allow investors who own or are interested in owning these stocks to either add to or start a position.
I want to point out that for companies going ex-dividend on Monday, October 2nd, you need to already own the stock before then. That means you need to be a shareholder by market close on Friday, September 29nd to capture the dividend.
To back this up with action, I did recently take advantage of the (then) upcoming Altria (MO) 8% dividend increase and added to my holding (first time in four years) prior to ex-div day. So this is not just a "theoretical" article, I use this myself.
The data is sorted by the day (ascending) and then the streak (descending).
