Expected Dividend Increases for September 2026

As I'm writing this blog post, it's currently Monday August 17th, 2026. The temperature here in Central Wisconsin is set to reach a high of 82 degrees Fahrenheit later today. Along with a sunny forecast, that makes it a perfect day to spend some time outdoors!

With that said, I will be looking at my dividend announcement activity thus far in August 2026. As my remaining two raises that I'm anticipating are declared, I will update this blog post. I'll also be looking ahead to the payout hikes that I'm expecting for September 2026. Let's get into it!

Actual Dividend Increase for August 2026

Dividend Increase: Carlisle Companies (CSL)

Carlisle Companies announced a 13.6% boost in its quarterly dividend per share to $1.25. Talk about an emphatic way to become a Dividend King! In this series' prior blog post, I was only expecting a 9.1% raise to $1.20.

Across my 11 shares of CSL, my net annual forward dividends surged $6.60 due to this dividend announcement.

Pending Dividend Increase #1: Intuit (INTU)

Intuit has yet to declare its next quarterly dividend per share. But I'm standing by my expectation of a 15% hike in the quarterly dividend per share to $1.38.

My net annual forward dividends would jump $7.20 higher from such a dividend declaration across my 10 shares of INTU.

Pending Dividend Increase #2: Altria Group (MO)

Altria Group hasn't announced its next quarterly dividend per share yet. Still, I anticipate a 4.7% increase in its quarterly dividend per share to $1.11.

Across my 24 shares of MO, my net annual forward dividends would rise by $4.80 due to such a dividend announcement.

Expected Dividend Increases for September 2026

Expected Dividend Increase #1: Accenture plc (ACN)

The first dividend raise that I'm anticipating for September 2026 will come from Accenture plc. My best guess is that ACN will declare a 9.8% hike in its quarterly dividend per share to $1.79.

My net annual forward dividends would rise by $12.80 across my 20 shares of ACN from such a dividend declaration.

Expected Dividend Increase #2: Microsoft (MSFT)

The next dividend boost that I'm predicting for next month will be from Microsoft. I believe that MSFT will announce a 9.9% raise in its quarterly dividend per share to $1.00.

Across my 26 shares of MSFT, my net annual forward dividends would rise by $9.36 due to such a dividend announcement.

Expected Dividend Increase #3: Realty Income (O)

The third dividend bump that I'm expecting for September 2026 will come from Realty Income. My guess is that O will declare a 1.5% increase in its monthly dividend per share to $0.2750 (the REIT tends to announce four smaller increases each year and one larger increase).

My net annual forward dividends would grow by $7.248 across my 151 shares of O from such a dividend declaration.

Expected Dividend Increase #4: Philip Morris International (PM)

The next dividend hike that I'm anticipating for next month will be from Philip Morris International. My best guess is that PM will announce an 8.2% raise in its quarterly dividend per share to $1.59.

Across my 18 shares of PM, my net annual forward dividends would climb $8.64 higher due to such a dividend announcement.

Expected Dividend Increase #5: VICI Properties (VICI)

The fifth dividend raise that I'm predicting for September 2026 will come from VICI Properties. I believe that VICI will declare a 3.9% increase in its quarterly dividend per share to $0.4675.

My net annual forward dividends would surge $12.60 higher across my 180 shares of VICI from such a dividend declaration.

Concluding Thoughts:

If my raises from INTU and MO pan out, my net annual forward dividends will have grown by $18.60 in August 2026. This would be equivalent to investing $620.00 at a 3% net dividend yield.

If my five dividend boosts in September 2026 play out as anticipated, my net annual forward dividends would rocket higher by $50.648. That would be like investing $1,688.27 at a 3% net dividend yield.

Discussion:

How is your August 2026 coming along for dividend boosts? Did you receive any first-time raises in your portfolio like I did with CSL?

Are you expecting any first-time dividend raises like I am with ACN?
