Dividend Increase Effect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 37.799 shares of Flowers Foods in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 5% increase it will add an additional $1.51 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!

Conclusion

Flowers Foods never seems to disappoint. I originally started this position at a time when a lot of people had doubts about the future of the company because of some legal issues. I thought overall that the company was good so I decided to start the position.

Since that time, the share price has moved above my cost basis but I would love an opportunity to add to this position. I guess until that happens I will continue to trade Dogecoin!

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 Flowers Foods? 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!
