Dividend Announcements: October 17-23, 2026 (Part 2 Of 2)

I track dividend announcements across 1,200+ stocks. This week, 42 companies increased their dividend, including two stocks I own. Part 2 highlights 17 stocks with streaks below 10 years. First BanCorp (FBP) stands out with a 25% dividend hike, 3.65% forward yield, and the highest ACN (23.9), though it trades near fair value. Western Digital (WDC) offers 34.69% upside to fair value and strong safety metrics, but its forward yield is just 0.20% and dividend consistency is weak.
