Why are dividend raises important? Because any management team that has the conviction to raise a dividend during an economic depression is confident in their company's ability to pay that dividend in perpetuity.

This level of conviction from company insiders gives me - the investor - greater confidence in the viability of the business and its ability to pay its bills while generating enough free cashflow for stockholders.
