The latter half of May was disappointing for dividend growth investors, as Lowe's pulled back on its dividend growth rate and Union Pacific skipped its annual increase. The big increases came from smaller companies. The only double-digit boost came from chemical company Ashland, while staffing firm Insperity and regional bank TowneBank announced 9% boosts. The announcements of dividend increases will slow down as summer approaches, but we should still see double-digit boosts from Kroger, UnitedHealth and Great Southern Bancorp.
