Usual disclaimers apply.
As promised:
Laser-focused on dividends
- as promised, this is the stand-alone post on dividend news
- companies are going to find out that investors want dividends, not stock buybacks
- Apple: bought a lot of its own stock -- could have paid dividends -- stock plummets 4% in one day
- not sure how stock buybacks helped investors
- and, oh, by the way, it looks like Apple bought high
Two stories:
- Starbucks
- Ferguson
Starbucks:
- raises dividend to 53 cents
- record date: 11/11/22
- pay date: 11/25/22
