(ABBV) announced a quarterly dividend increase of from $1.55 to $1.64 per share that’s payable February 14, 2025 to holders of record January 15, 2025. This represents a 5.81% increase over the last quarterly dividend. Since the company's inception in 2013, AbbVie has increased its quarterly dividend by 310 percent.
