Friday, September 27 the Board of Directors of Emera Inc. announced a quarterly dividend increase of from CA$ 0.5875 to CA$ 0.6125 per share and extended its dividend growth rate target of four to five per cent to 2022. New quarterly dividend is payable November 15, 2019 to holders of record November 1, 2019. This represents a 4.26% increase to regular quarterly dividends. With current price CA$ 58.44 (Friday's close), this raise brings their dividend yield to 4.19%.
“This increase is consistent with our dividend growth
rate target of four to five per cent and reflects our confidence in the
continuing growth of our business,” said Scott Balfour, President and CEO of
Emera Inc. “Our significant rate base investments are expected to drive
long-term cash flow and EPS growth in support of the dividend over the guidance
period.”
Since I own 130 shares of EMA, this will increase my
portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by CA$ 9.69.
This increase raises my YOC to 5.19%.
