Why do companies raise dividends?

A dividend increase tells shareholders management expects cash flow to stay strong. Boards rarely raise a payout they think they will have to cut, so a hike is read as a confidence signal.

When do I need to own the stock to get the higher dividend?

You need to own it before the ex-dividend date. The announcement lists the record date and payment date; the ex-date is normally one business day before the record date.
