In this horrible market, dividends have been one of the few saviors for investors. But the latest trend of big-name companies slashing their dividend is concerning. Sadly, this trend will likely grow.
Today it was Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW), Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE: HOG) and Masco (NYSE: MAS) cutting their dividends. The cuts were likely much anticipated by the market, with dividend yields of 16%, 10% and 12% before the cuts. What is concerning though is that some of these companies were out defending their dividends not too long ago.
Other recent big-name dividend cuts have come from the likes of Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), Hartford Financial (NYSE: HIG), Macy's (NYSE: M) and Motorola (NYSE: MOT)
Some big-name dividends that appear at risk of a cut include: General Electric (NYSE: GE), Whirlpool Corp. (NYSE: WHR), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT), Capital One (NYSE: COF), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) and Alcoa (NYSE: AA).
3M (NYSE: MMM) could be a bright spot. The company just raised their dividend 2% to a quarterly level of $0.51. The dividend yield is 4.1% based on tonight's close.

Poor Choice of Photo
The photo is the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City which killed 168 people including 19 children. Nice job attaching this picture to a story about dividends. I'd like to think a strongly worded apology is in order.
Poor Photo Choice for Article
The photo in this article appears to be of an apartment or office building destroyed by a bomb. While I appreciate reading about the future of company dividends the image of a building ravaged by war or terrorism brings to mind thoughts about tragic pain and loss of life, not a faltering economy. It seems to me the use of this photo boarders on the sensationalism of human suffering to create interest. I think the photo is a poor choice and find it distracts from the content of the article.
