Increases
have been reported by deducting a 25.5% capital income tax.
I had completely forgotten about ETN. I had my eye on them for a while but then the share price never came back down so I moved on to better value propositions. Great to see a 7.5% increase from ETN and congrats on the raise!
ReplyDeleteLong time holder of ETN here, DH. I'm a little perplexed when they dub their dividend a "return of capital". I like the tax benefit, but not sure I understand why they can't just pay dividends out of cash flow. Tom
