Home Depot Raises Dividend
- 4 Comment
On my original investment in Home Depot, I was earning a yield of 0.78% – today after some reinvestments and the yearly dividend increases that I have been a part of, my yield on Home Depot stock is 1.78%. All with very little work – just keeping an eye on growing eps and sales.
I love this part of monitoring my portfolio. Seeing these dividend increases are very exciting as it basically means more money on a yearly basis in cash flow. Keep ‘em coming…

That’s a big increase. Yahoo has a useful feature for reporting past dividend payments, though its buried away under historical prices which in turn is buried inside charts. Also Kiplingers will let you screen for stocks that have regularly increased their dividend for however many years you choose.

Hi Ty,
Yes, I live in Canada. I use a broker that allows me to invest in US stocks – most, if not all, of the Canadian brokers allow us to invest in US or other international stocks.

Hi Derek,
I tried those sites to screen and rank the dividends for yield growth etc. They were pretty cumbersome to use and I gave up after a while. I use the Dividend Quote tool from DividendInvestor.com to get my Ex Div dates and historical data and was wondering if you have tried the screener or top100 that they have?
