Makes me wonder why a dividend growth investor would touch any utility at the worst possible interest rate environment in a generation. Let interest rates go anywhere close to a normalized level and these stocks will be at half their current value. IMO, where we are now, for a DG investor, means buying companies that have low debt, steady earnings and dividend growth, have multinational exposure, which will do well even when interest rates start to move higher, and finally, will be able to generate inflation beating growth in all but the worst economic slow downs. In a nut shell, the dividend growth investor should mostly seek out dividend paying stocks that are also great total return candidates.
Note: I sold my utilities when yields dropped much below 5%. Actually started selling calls until they eventually got exercised. Won't return to utilities until yields generally rise back above that level. Would consider SO at a dip to under $40, but definitely not before.

Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) declares $0.50/share quarterly dividend, 25% increase from prior dividend of $0.40.
Forward yield 2.58%
RE: Dividend Announcement Thread! - hendi_alex - 01-15-2015
I added SLB to my daughter's account today. Also added ESV whose dividend will likely be cut or eliminated, but they pay out lots of cash when earnings are strong. These are two plays in the brutalized oil service sector and IMO are the two best positioned and/or strongest of the group. As with everything oil, the lows are probabably a good bit further down.
Edited: I also see where the announced cutting 9,000 jobs or 8% if their work force, because of the expected slow down in the E&P space. So while this quarter looks good, harsh numbers are on the way in coming quarters, numbers that will probably provide a much better entry in the future.

Realty Income (O) raises dividend by 3%!
http://www.realtyincome.com/pdfs/pr/1-20-15-DivIncr.pdf
Wasnt expecting this announcement since the last increase came in Dec...but I'll take it
RE: Dividend Announcement Thread! - hendi_alex - 01-21-2015
January 5th I dumped my Realty Income shares at $49.33, capturing a 30%+ capital gain, figuring that settling for an under 5% yield for a REIT is beyond ridiculous. Don't regret selling, but the current price shows that the market is willing to push ridiculous to almost unimaginable places. I'll rebuy O sometime when its yield moves north of 5% again, but may wait on 6% or better yield before taking a fresh plunge. My earliest entry point will be somewhere south of $44 but will perhaps wait for south of $40. When that time comes, the prices will likely come crashing down very quickly, as REIT prices are so strongly affected by Fed rate increases.

RE: Dividend Announcement Thread! - Dividend Watcher - 01-23-2015
NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC) today announced that its Board of Directors voted to increase the regular quarterly dividend on the company's common stock by 4 percent, or 2 cents per share, from 57 to 59 cents per share. The increased dividend is payable on March 10 to stockholders of record on Feb. 6.
Disappointing.
RE: Dividend Announcement Thread! - Roadmap2Retire - 01-23-2015
That does sound really disappointing coming from a railway company. I am expecting an announcement from Canadian National next week. Hopefully they'll do better than 4%.

NSC has been raising the dividend twice per year of late. The $0.59 compares to $0.54 year over year.
