Since I own 20 shares of ITW, this will increase my portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by $ 5.36.

 

I was expecting an increase of about 5%, so now it's a bit more and of course I'm happy with that.

 

This is the fifth dividend increase I've received from ITW since initiating a position in August 2018. (More here) During this period, the quarterly dividend has risen mightily from $ 0.78 to $ 1.31, or 68 percent.

 

This increase raises my YOC to 4.05%.
