There is no reason to know in general.
If you are thinking of buying a stock because the dividend will be going up, the price of the stock has already compensated for that news. You have to own the stock before the news announcement to get appreciation in share price

A stock dividend gets raised when the management feels like it.
Various things can cause the management to feel like doing it. One is pressure from shareholders. Another is having excess cash lying around.
Quick and Reilly (which was bought by Fleet, which was bought by Bank of America) used to have a free pamphlet that listed companies that have raised dividends every year for the past x years. Not sure if they still do. Check their web site.
Wall Street Journal and Barrons have tables with dividends listed.
