Dividend Increase Affect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 6.412 shares of Genuine Parts in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 3.6% increase it will add an additional $0.70 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!

Conclusion

Genuine Parts is a good company with a very impressive streak of increasing their dividend. This is not a recession proof business but they have managed to increase their dividend during other recessionary periods.

I would love to be able to add to this position but it definitely would not be up at the top of my list only because they will be affected negatively when a recession happens.

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 Genuine Parts? 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!
