“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan

For folks who were BMS shareholders, who held through the merger, this turned out to be a substantial dividend hike. My AMCR holding will pay out 91.25% more in annual dividends than my BMS shares used to.

Wow. MO yielding nearly 7% gives a 5% raise.

Lol, yeah. I know I'm cherry-picking, but it still makes me laugh: The shares of MO I bought in December 2008 for $14.65 per share (which were yielding 8.74 percent at the time with the $1.28 annual dividend) now are paying $3.36 per share, for a yield on cost of almost 23 percent. I sure wish I had backed up the truck, but I was pretty new to investing in individual stocks at the time and was proceeding cautiously...

Right now I wish I'd never heard of the stock. Timing affects our perspective lol. Congrats Kerim. 23% YOC in barely over a decade is just awesome!

Altria is expecting 5% EPS growth in 2019, which will be the lowest EPS growth since it grew by 6% all the way back in 2009.
Management and analysts continue to forecast ~8% EPS growth going forward.
I'm loving the share price drop. With the 7% yield and this year's 5% dividend increase, I'm seeing my income from MO grow by 12% this year after growing by about 25% last year.
