Becton Dickinson Extends Royal Dividend Run With 1% Payout Boost

Dow Jones

Nov 06

By Colin Kellaher

Becton Dickinson's board has bumped up the quarterly dividend by a penny, or about 1%, to $1.05, extending the medical-technology company's royal payout status.

The new quarterly rate, equal to $4.20 a year, represents an annual yield of about 2.38% based on Wednesday's closing price of $176.39, up from 2.36%.

The dividend increase maintains Becton Dickinson's spot in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, whose 69 members have paid a higher dividend for at least 25 straight years, as well as its place on the smaller list of 56 dividend kings--those which have boosted their dividends annually for at least half a century.

The Franklin Lakes, N.J., company on Thursday said the increased dividend is payable Dec. 31 to shareholders of record Dec. 8.
