Yesterday, February 4, the Board of Directors of Gilead Sciences, Inc. announced a quarterly dividend increase of from $ 0.57 to $ 0.63 per share that’s payable March 28, 2019 to holders of record March 15, 2019. The declared dividend represents a 6.25 percent increase from the prior quarterly rate.
With current price $ 67.75 (today's open), this raise
brings their dividend yield to 3.72%.
Since I own 35 shares of GILD, this will increase my
portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by $ 6.26.
This increase rises my YOC to 3.28%.

Thanks for stopping by!
I'm happy with the GILD raise. It's been a stock in the back of my head for a while as I'm contemplating adding more shares. Seems to be stuck in neutral for a while.
