Dividend Increase Effect On More Dividends
I am currently holding 26.857 shares of Realty Income. With this .2% increase it will add $0.43 to my Projected Annual Dividend Income.
Conclusion
This is a small increase but it has a hidden impact on my portfolio because this dividend is paid monthly. That means the increase will be able to compound slightly faster than if it was paid quarterly. I am definitely excited about anything that will help me build up my snowball even faster.
Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉
