Thanks for the link, Eric. Pretty impressive numbers indeed. I did a little math and they've been growing the dividend by an average of 17% per year since 2000. Even in the 2008-2009 crisis they raised by 10%. Maybe I should have bought even more...
Edited to add: I've never been able to decide if I think CAGR is a useful measure. Maybe it is no worse than a straight average, and in neither case can you ignore the bumpiness and trend of the numbers, but still wary of it for some reason. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. In any case, Target's dividend growth numbers are not on the wane, that's for sure.
