Re: Dividend and Distribution Hikes - 2012
You got me beat, sensei. I counted 17. If I include ENB and BCE that were announced late 2011, it's 19. Not bad, not bad. Still looking for a few more in the summer.
Re: Dividend and Distribution Hikes - 2012
Do not be discouraged. You both have me beat. I only have 10 increases (though I am expecting at least one more...SAP...). Of course, all of these numbers are meaningless in the absence of a denominator. In my case, my total number of individual stocks (the denominator) is 17.JaydoubleU wrote:You got me beat, sensei.

My current portfolio is producing 5% more income (annualized) than it would have produced in 2011. The previous sentence is a theoretical statement since my portfolio composition has changed since last year. In reality, income growth is flat this year since I have traded some higher yielders for some lower yielders. (Partial sales of ENB, TA and SLF and purchase of NWC and SAP as well as ESI and PWF and... SNC ). The overall result of these trades was a reduction in yield of (for total dividend portfolio) about 20 basis points.
Currently my overall yield is 4.1%. The TSX composite yield is about 3.1%. My educated guess is that a dividend yield of about 125% of the composite yield (i.e. about 3.9%) is compatible with inflation beating growth in income. I am hoping to beat inflation by 2% per year long term. (This is a necessary ingredient in my current financial plan...My dividend portfolio represents 50% of my capital).

Re: Dividend and Distribution Hikes - 2012
Back of the envelope calculation says about 40-45% of the companies I hold shares in, have raised their dividends, which is fine since I have several reits and only REF.UN and HR.UN have raised their dividends in recent memory.

Re: Dividend and Distribution Hikes - 2012
Actually, one error I noticed was I counted RDS twice (Duh. I was the poster both times). Including INTC I have 19 for 2012. I believe we'll get another from NGG next week.JaydoubleU wrote:You got me beat, sensei. I counted 17. If I include ENB and BCE that were announced late 2011, it's 19. Not bad, not bad. Still looking for a few more in the summer.
To date I've received increased dividends in 2012 from: HCN, KMB, NGG, RDS, GSK, ABT, GPC, WR, RY, TD, BNS, BDT, BPF, PG, CVX, UL, JNJ, PEP, INTC (With BCE it's 20).

Re: Dividend and Distribution Hikes - 2012
Nice. OK, here we go: CJR.B, NGG, GSK, DEO, TRI, FTS, TRP, RCI.B, RY, BNS, TD, WJX, BDT, NWC, NAE/PGH, UL, RUS, TS.B . . . . (With BCE and ENB it's 20! ) I should note, however, that I've since sold a few of those positions so I shouldn't really get to count them.To date I've received increased dividends in 2012 from: HCN, KMB, NGG, RDS, GSK, ABT, GPC, WR, RY, TD, BNS, BDT, BPF, PG, CVX, UL, JNJ, PEP, INTC (With BCE it's 20).
NGG has already indicated they expect to bump August's dividend by 8%. GSK is also on a course of raising 1p per share quarterly; not sure how long they can keep that up. Thy are also divesting other assets and have said the proceeds will be distributed as a special dividend. I expect raises from MCD and PM in September, and the possibility of more from CTY and AFN later in the year. PWF continues to be wishful thinking

Last year per ADS 1.412619 US$ (3c deducted per ADS), and depending on the exchange rate, back of the envelope (excluding special dividend) approx US$1.51 after deducting 3cents per ADS.
