Dividend Increase Effect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 11.381 shares of Emerson Electric in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 1% increase it will add an additional $0.23 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!

Conclusion

Emerson Electric is a great company with a long history of increasing their dividend. Since starting this position I have been pretty happy with it.

A couple of years ago I was hoping to see a merger between Emerson and Rockwell Automation but the 2 companies couldn’t seem to agree on a price.

I will continue to hold this position and let it keep compounding. If given the opportunity, I would love to add to this position. Until then, I will let it continue to compound on it’s self!

Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉

Do you currently hold any stock in Emerson Electric? What do you think of this dividend increase? Just let me know in the comments.

As always I look forward to reading all of your comments and questions, until then….. happy investing!
