Quest Diagnostics' board has raised the company's quarterly dividend by 7.5%, to 86 cents from 80 cents, and added $1 billion to the diagnostic information services provider's stock-buyback program.
The new quarterly payout, equal to $3.44 a year, represents an annual yield of about 1.8% based on Monday's closing share price of $191.25, up from 1.67%.
The Secaucus, N.J., company on Tuesday said the increased dividend is payable April 20 to shareholders of record on April 6.
Quest, which sports a market capitalization of topping $21 billion, said it had about $400 million remaining under its buyback program at the end of 2025.
