The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD)
Yesterday, December 2nd the Board of Directors of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) announced a quarterly dividend increase of from CA$ 0.79 to CA$ 0.89 per share that’s payable January 30, 2022 to holders of record January 10, 2022. This represents a 12.7% increase over the last quarterly dividend.
With current price CA$ 96.18 (today's open), this raise brings their dividend yield to 3.70%.
TD Bank is a member of Canadian Dividend All Star List with an 11 year streak of dividend increases. Dividend growth rates for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years are 7.6, 9.8, 9.2 and 9.8 (Canadian Dividend All-Star List)
Since I own 180 shares of TD, this will increase my portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by $ 41.84.
Due to the pandemic, dividend increases were forbidden, so now that they are possible again, an increase was expected. I was expecting an increase of around 7% per year, so the size of the increase was a slight disappointment.
This is the seventh dividend increase I received from TD since initiating a position in September 2014. During this period, the quarterly dividend has risen very nicely from $0.47 to $0.89, or 89.36%
This increase raises my YOC to 6.54%.
