Williams is targeting an additional 10 percent to 15 percent increase for the quarterly dividends it will pay beginning in June 2012.
Along this same line, because of an "embarrassment" of riches when the major oil companies report their quarterly earnings starting tomorrow, there has been talk that the majors will want to return to shareholders as quickly as possible some of those profits in terms of increased dividends and/or stock re-purchases. We'll see.
FYI.
