I really think that the percentage amount of a dividend increase is so indicative of things to come, earnings wise. In investing there are really very few tools that allow us to look into the future with any accuracy. I believe dividend increases are the closest thing to a crystal ball that a company can offer an investor.
On that note, perhaps the better Canadian banks like BNS, TD, and RY will see earnings growth slow down to the single digit level of anywhere between 5% - 8% in the coming two years.
Some excellent divisends.
