Dividend Increase – Fortis Inc. (FTS)



Today, September 10th the Board of Directors of Fortis Inc. announced its 46th consecutive year of increased dividends. The Board declared a common share dividend of CA$ 0.4775 per share, an increase of from CA$ 0.45 per share that’s payable December 1, 2019 to holders of record November 19, 2019. This represents a 6.11% increase to regular quarterly dividends. In addition, the Corporation has targeted average annual dividend per common share growth of approximately 6% through 2024 based on an annualized dividend of $1.80.

With current price CA$ 55.43 (yesterday's close), this raise brings their dividend yield to 3.45%.

Since I own 140 shares of FTS, this will increase my portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by CA$ 11.47.



This increase raises my YOC to 4.58%.
