Dividend Increase Effect On More Dividends
I am currently holding 69.593 shares of Bank of America. With this 25% increase it will add $8.36 to my Projected Annual Dividend Income.
Conclusion
Bank of America is one of my largest holdings. So whenever I get an increase it really makes an impact. Bank of America is a great company that I have been owning for years. Since I first started the position the share price has been trending upward. My only regret is that I didn’t buy more when it was so cheap. I will continue to hold this stock forever and hopefully receive increasing dividends over that same amount of time.
Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉
