Broadcom Dividend Increase
The dividend will be paid on 30 September to shareholders of record on 19 September. The ex-dividend date is 19 September.
This is an unusually small increase for AVGO, likely aimed at smoothing out its fractional dividend following the company’s 10-for-1 stock split. I expect AVGO to announce a more significant increase in December.
AVGO’s contribution to DivGro’s projected annual dividend income will increase by $2 to $212.
I own 200 shares of AVGO at an average cost basis of $25.04 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost is 8.47%. (AVGO’s forward yield is 2.10% at $172.94 per share).
Since I opened my AVGO position in December 2018, the stock has produced total returns of 623%, including $821.67 in dividend income.
