On this shortened Memorial Day week, there was only one dividend announcement from the components of the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats index. Interestingly enough, it was Defense and Aerospace contractor General Dynamics, which is poised to become the next S&P Dividend Aristocrat at the beginning of 2017.
