This represents a 6.17% increase over the last quarter dividend. Eaton has paid dividends on its shares every year since 1923.
With current price $170.30 (yesterday's close), this raise brings their dividend yield to 2.02%.

Since I own 30 shares of ETN, this will increase my portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by $4.47.
This increase was slightly higher than I expected and I am happy to accept it.
This is the 8th dividend increase I've received from Eaton Corporation since initiating a position in July 2015. During this period, the quarterly dividend has increased moderately from $ 0.55 to $ 0.86 or 56.4 percent.
This increase raises my YOC to 5.46%.
