Friday, February 9th the Board of Directors of PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) announced announced a 7.1% increase in its annualized dividend to $5.42 per share from $5.06 per share, effective with the dividend expected to be paid in June 2024. This represents the Company’s 52nd consecutive annual dividend per share increase.
With current price $170.61 (yesterday's close), this raise brings their dividend yield to 3.18%.
Pepsi is a Dividend Champions with a 52 year streak of dividend increases. Dividend growth rates for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years are 8.5, 6.9, 6.9 and 8.1 (Dividend Champions.xls)
Since I own 100 shares of PEP, this will increase my portfolio's projected annual net dividend income by $26.82.
This increase was in line with my expectations, which were around 7%, so I welcome this announcement.
This is the 10th dividend increase I've received from PEP since initiating a position in February 2014. During this period, the quarterly dividend has risen as expected from $0.66 to $1.355, or 105.3 percent.
This increase raises my yield on cost to 6.96%.
