Dividend Growth Forum

D4M : We usually only post updates here when a company increases their dividend, not maintains the previous quarter's.

Unfortunately this isn't a raise, tho the verbiage is weird. PEP has paid .7025 the last two quarters, which *is* a raise from 2014 ... just not a raise from the most recent amount

No one got on the BDX yet? Becton Dickinson raised the dividend 10%. I'm on my phone now so I can't make the post all pretty with the forward yield and the ticker symbol.

If I knew in 2010 what I know now, I would have been buying a whole lot more BDX. Luckily I have a small position. I bought at 67.
