Costco Wholesale Dividend Increase

On 16 April, Costco Wholesale (COST) increased its dividend by 12.1%, from $1.16 to $1.30¢ per share.

The dividend is payable on 16 May to shareholders of record on 2 May. 

COST's forward yield is 0.53% at $977.16 per share.

I own 25 COST shares at an average cost of $431.78 per share. COST's contribution to DivGro's projected annual dividend income will increase by $14 to $130. 

My yield on cost is now 1.20%.

Since I opened my position in August 2019, the stock has generated a total return of 134%, including $792.80 in dividend income. That's a spectacular annualized rate of return of 28.8%!

COST became DivGro's 41st Home Run stock in November 2021, when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
