Dividend Announcement Thread!
Expected more from WMT especially with the tax cut that they're receiving.

With the midpoint of the new lowered guidance, this new dividend is a nearly 43% of FY earnings.

I wouldn't expect any more than 2% increases from WMT until the payout ratio gets back to the ~35% level.

I wrote about this back in early 2015, and it's played out just as I expected.

Holy smokes!

Even before this news I was considering a new thread on how well MO is doing -- STILL. EPS growth is looking very healthy (and NOT primarily due to buybacks), and payout ratio has dipped below 70 percent. Given that they explicitly target a payout ratio of 80 percent, I was going to suggest that big dividend raises were afoot, but I assumed we'd just get a really nice raise at the annual mark (Q4 2018). To get this raise now is really something.

And if their 2018 guidance is accurate, payout ratio still is in the low 70s, so still plenty of room for additional increases.

“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
