McDonald's Dividend Increase

On 23 October, McDonald's (MCD) increased its dividend by 5.08%, from $1.77 to $1.86 per share.

The dividend is payable on 15 December to shareholders of record on 1 December. 

MCD's contribution to DivGro's projected annual dividend income will increase by $18 to $372.

I own 50 shares of MCD at an average cost basis of $148.63 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost is 5.01%. (MCD's forward yield is 2.43% at $305.79 per share). 

Since I opened my position in September 2014, the stock has delivered a total return of 135%, including $2,155.13 in dividends. That's a splendid annualized rate of return of 12.3%!

MCD became DivGro's 10th Home Run stock in January 2018, when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
