Wednesday, January 25th the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation (CVX) announced a quarterly dividend increase of from $ 1.42 to $ 1.51 per share that’s payable March 10, 2023 to holders of record February 16, 2023. This represents a 6.34% increase over the last quarterly dividend.
The Board also authorized the repurchase of the company’s shares of common stock in an aggregate amount of $75 billion. The $75 billion authorization takes effect on April 1, 2023, and does not have a fixed expiration date. It replaces the Board’s previous repurchase authorization of $25 billion from January 2019, which will terminate on March 31, 2023, after the completion of the company’s repurchases in the first quarter 2023.
With current price $ 174.20 (yesterday's close), this raise brings their dividend yield to 3.47%.
CVX is a Dividend Champions with a 36 year streak of dividend increases. Dividend growth rates for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years are 7.0, 6.1, 5.6 and 4.9 (Dividend Champions.xls)
Since I own 60 shares of Chevron, this will increase my portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by $ 16.09.
The increase was in line with my expectations.
This is the 8th dividend increase I've received from Chevron Corporation since initiating a position in January 2014. During this period, the dividend has grown moderately from $1.00 to $1.51 or 51.0%
This increase raises my YOC to 5.38%.
