Amgen -- December 16, 2020

I see that Amgen raised its dividend. 

• prior: $1.60 (link here)
• new: $1.76
• increase: 16 cents / 1.60 = 10% increase
• share price today: $228.44 (down $2.09)
• after-hours: $230.27 (up $1.83)
• $6.40 / $228.44 = 2.8%
• $7.04 / $230.27 = 3.06%
• new dividend:
• record date: 2/15/21
• payable date: 3/8/21

Amgen is an "expensive" stock but one can buy it "by the slice" through most brokers.

This particular item caught my interest for two reasons:

• the other day, there was an article that suggested 2021 will be a year for dividend increases and buybacks;
• a 10% increase in a dividend for an "old" company is quite noteworthy;
