Ameriprise Financial's board has boosted the financial-services company's quarterly dividend by 8%, to $1.60 from $1.48, and added $4.5 billion to its share-repurchase authorization.
The new quarterly payout, equal to $6.40 a year, represents an annual yield of 1.36% based on Wednesday's closing price of $471.85, up from 1.25%.
The Minneapolis company on Thursday said the increased dividend is payable May 19 to shareholders of record May 5.
Ameriprise, which had about 96.1 million shares outstanding as of Feb. 7 and sports a market capitalization topping $45 billion, said the new buyback adds to prior authorization that had about $138 million remaining.
