WOW. 

MO is an unstoppable dividend beast. Second generous raise for the year, and the payout ratio is STILL comfortably below their stated 80 percent target.

And down 2 percent today, so it is offering a 5.45 percent yield right now....

Sorely tempted to buy some.

“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

And MCD stock price instantly jumps even more than the additional DIV. If the DIV increase is a trend that should help the stock appreciate going forward.
