Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
Those numbers can't be right. The 1999 quarterly dividend data must be already split-adjusted. I could believe RY's dividend has increased 725% in that time frame, but surely not 2900%.
Edit to add: I'm guessing the figures for RY and BNS were already split-adjusted, but TD's was not (meaning the 1999 unadjusted quarterly dividend was 9.5 cents).

Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
I show $58 quarterly dividend on 200 shares of RY in 1992. No split adjustments. At least two splits since on that line.
That makes a split-adjusted .0725.
Added: 1200%, 10.4% dividend growth compounded in 25 years.

Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
That would mean it's up 12 fold since 1992. Seems much more likely.

In fact I believe you are correct that they were originally split adjusted.Lazy Ninja wrote: ↑28 Jun 2017 09:44 Those numbers can't be right. The 1999 quarterly dividend data must be already split-adjusted
SQRT's confidence that they were not split adjusted threw me.
Let's try again:
1. 760% BNS
2. 725% RY
3. 423% CM
4. 375% BMO
5. 315% TD
To illustrate with an example, presume you bought a modest 100 shares of each in 1999. You would have earned $380 a year in dividends. This year you would earn $1760 a year in dividends from the same original investment.
Here are the raw (split adjusted) numbers:
(example of source: http://www.rbc.com/investorrelations/co ... story.html which split in 2000 and 2006).
1999 quarterly dividend:
CM 0.3
BMO 0.24
BNS 0.1
TD 0.19
RY 0.12
Current quarterly dividend:
CM 1.27
BMO 0.9
BNS 0.76
TD 0.6
RY 0.87

Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
TD still looks wrong. More likely to be 632%.

.19 to 1.20 (split-adjusted).

Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
That should be .095 to .60
Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
No. The quoted time period is starting with the September 99 div which was 19 cents. All 99 divs are quoted at that date.

Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
BNS looks like the sleeper here! Who would have thought that?
Interesting analysis. Thanks.

Re: The Perfect Dividend ETF
Anybody got the total return numbers for the same banks over the same period?
