Dividend Increase Effect
I am currently holding 32.28 shares of Pfizer in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 2.6% increase it will add an additional $1.29 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!
Current Stock Position
Who hasn’t heard of Pfizer by now. The company is a major player in the covid vaccine space. They have consistently paid and increased their dividend since I initiated the position a few years ago. Then at the beginning of 2020 I decided to add onto the position, which has paid off nicely.
Like a lot of my investments, I wish that I would have been able to build a bigger position before the price went up so much. It is all good though. I will continue to be patient and to wait for the right opportunity to build onto this position.
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 Pfizer? 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!

Have to say I was a bit disappointed with this increase from Pfizer. I expected at least something in the MSD area. That makes 2 years now of just ~2.6% raises. Hoping to see a better increase next year.
