The S&P 500's dividend payouts are currently 4.48% higher than they were 12 months ago, tacking significant income growth onto some significant capital gain growth over the same period. And now, with record corporate profits and cash positions, firms are well positioned to keep cutting bigger dividend checks for shareholders.
Even if Warren Buffett conspicuously announced last week that Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B_) wouldn't be adding on a dividend in 2013, there are plenty of firms that do look primed to boost payouts. In the past few months we've had some stellar success in finding future dividend hikes just by zeroing in on a few key factors. Now we'll look at our crystal ball and try to do it again: Oracle (ORCL), PepsiCo (PEP), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Simon Property Group (SPG) and Capital One Financial (COF).
