And with earnings continuing to move in the right direction, the payout ratio is also declining. Throw in the increased buyback, and all is looking good for LMT. And to think, you could have bought it with a 5% yield only two years ago!
I bought in February last year.
With the two dividend increases since then I am already sitting on a YoC of 6.5%.
Not too shabby!

GSK announces that a EPS of 27.9p up 5% and above analyst estimates of 23.9p
The company announced it would keep dividends at 80p a year for 2015 representing a yiled of nearly 6% at current price.
The freeze is slightly disappointing but expected after the China bribery scandal and a £268m fine.
The company will also return £4Bn to shareholders via a special share scheme
!Overall I'm VERY happy with these results despite falling revenue (Expected a lot worse after a collapse in China sales due to bribery scandal) and knew this whilst I bought the shares (a risk I know).
The company also showed a recovery in China sales compared to last quarter
Overall, relieved and happy!
Share price responded by jumping 3.8%
