BlackRock Dividend Increase

On 15 January, BlackRock (BLK) increased its dividend by 9.98%, from $5.21 to $5.73 per share.

The dividend is payable on 24 March to shareholders of record on 6 March.

BLK's contribution to DivGro's projected annual dividend income will increase by $31.20 to $343.80.

I own 15 shares of BLK at an average cost basis of $385.90 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost is 5.94%. (BLK's forward yield is 2.08% at $1,103.54 per share). 

Since I opened my position in December 2018, the stock has delivered a total return of 218%, including $1,875 in dividends. That's a superb annualized rate of return of 17.6%!

BLK became DivGro's 29th Home Run stock in January 2021 when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
