Tuesday, September 6th the Board of Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) announced a quarterly dividend increase of from $ 0.64 to $ 0.6525 per share that’s payable November 1, 2022 to holders of record October 7, 2022. This represents a 1.95% increase over the last quarterly dividend.
This is the 18th consecutive year Verizon’s Board has approved a quarterly dividend increase.
“Our consistently disciplined approach to the market to maximize growth and profitability has again put the Verizon Board in a position to raise the dividend,” said Chairman and CEO Hans Vestberg. “We will continue to execute our network-as-a-service strategy to deliver long-term shareholder value.”
With current price $ 41.35 (today's open), this raise brings their dividend yield to 6.31%.
