I am currently holding 12 shares of Hormel Foods. With this 12% increase it will add $1.08 to my Projected Annual Dividend Income.
Conclusion
This is not a very big position in Hormel Foods but I love seeing a 12% dividend increase. Despite the challenges that they face, I would love to be able to add to this position but the share price would have to make a large decline before that happens.
Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉

Congrats on the raise, even on a small position a double digit raise sure does bring a smile to your face.
This is a position I wish I bought years ago. That dividend streak is absolutely amazing and to top it off their dividend increases have consecutively beat the rate of inflation for 32 straight years (soon to be 33 come Jan) and it started when I was a senior in High School. If only I knew….

That’s a great raise on the dividend and slightly surprising to me, considering HRL was not even in my mid-term radar all this year. Looks like I need to reallocate my stocks and put more on food-based comps.
Anyways, congratulations and good luck to you, mate.
