Dividend Increases for My Portfolio

In the time since I started my portfolio I've had several stocks announce dividend increases.

JP Morgan Chase (JPM) $0.25 $0.30 20.00%
Average of Increases -- -- 20.09%
Average of All -- -- 13.39%

This table shows the value of investing in dividend growth companies. Despite 6 of my 16 current holdings between my brokerage and Roth IRA not increasing yet, I have still received an average pay raise of 13.39%. I expect the rest will continue their past of dividend growth but we're just not at their usual increase date yet. I know it's a little skewed this year because of the large increases from 3 of my financial holdings but it is what it is.

*I don't expect a dividend increase prior to the completion of the spinoff. However, management has stated that they will keep the $0.66 quarterly dividend for the Conoco stock and that the Phillips 66 spinoff company will have an initial dividend of $0.20 per quarter with planned annual increases of 5%.
