Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images We are always on the lookout for dividend increases. Whether it is on our website or social media platforms, we are always sharing dividend increase news. In this article, we are featuring 6 expected dividend increases in April 2026. You won't want to miss it! Why do we suspect these companies are going to announce a dividend increase in April? The dividend stocks featured in this article all have a history of announcing their annual dividend increases in April. The funny thing about large, blue-chip, dividend-paying stocks is that they are generally pretty consistent with dividend announcements. Management teams prefer announcing and paying dividends around the same time every quarter. Plus, shareholders like us also enjoy the predictability and consistency of dividend payments. Especially once you retire and live on your dividend income. The same consistency applies for dividend increase announcements. For the most part, companies announce their annual dividend increases in the same month every year. (Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule.) Each of the featured dividend stocks, when reviewing their history, have announced dividend increases in April in recent history. That is why we are so confident that each of the featured dividend stocks will once again increase its dividend in April. Why Dividend Increases Matter Dividends are the foundation of our goal to reach financial freedom. We continuously invest in dividend growth stocks to grow our passive income. If you haven't figured it out by now, we eat, sleep, and breathe dividends. With high inflation, buying undervalued dividend stocks that increase your dividend is as crucial as ever. That is why dividend growth is a major deciding factor in all of our stock purchase decisions. It is the third metric of our Dividend Stock Screener for a reason. For each stock, we review a company's history of increasing dividends (consecutive annual dividend increases)...

Torsten Asmus/iStock via Getty Images I was bearish on Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD ) heading into 2026. Trust me, it was a contrarian take. The fintech had significant 2025, making the list of top performing companies of Russell 1000 throughout the year. Now the stock is down 38% year to date. What happened? HOOD: Stock Declined By 41% Since My Previous Article (Seeking Alpha) In my opinion, the retail investor-focused company was highly influenced by poor crypto performance. Altcoin season never materialized while both Bitcoin and Ethereum had two consecutive quarters of double-digit decline . As a result, volatility returned and risk appetite decreased. I strongly believe that the other important factor was broader macroeconomic uncertainty, which fueled Mag 7 underperformance, rotation to metals and more defensive sectors, and multiple contraction. The S&P500 forward earnings multiple contracted from 23x few months ago to below 20x . Surely enough, that's a big drop in a short period of time. Now, on the upside, I think that a lot of concerns may already be in the rearview mirror. That's why I am changing my view on Robinhood stock, which I honestly find quite compelling at these levels. I upgraded the rating from Sell to Buy. Let me present to you the reasons behind my thesis. Fundamentally, the Business Is Growing Strongly The recent drop in the stock price could make one think that business experienced a massive shift in performance, but that's not really the case. Sure, sentiment around the stock shifted, but fundamentally Robinhood keeps improving. A few months ago, the fintech shared its total platform assets were up in 2025 by 68%. That's significant improvement. Of course, we need to highlight that it dropped on a quarter-over-quarter basis by 3%, but I think that's mainly due to broader markets decline across both crypto and stocks. I wouldn't be surprised if this metric stagnates in the following earnings call as well, supported by the recent cross-asset se...

Potential buyers examine real estate models at a sales center in Taiyuan, Shanxi province.

The prolonged slump in new home sales contrasts with a nascent rebound in the existing home market of major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where falling prices and a narrowing gap between rental yields and mortgage costs are luring genuine buyers back.
