Income

I currently own 77 shares of Royal Bank of Canada and with this decision to raise the dividend my income will grow $2.31 quarterly and $9.24 annually. Not a huge increase but keep in mind RBC has been raising their dividend every other quarter the last few years so in August we should see another raise. This is the 8th raise I have received from from RBC since I’ve owned the stock since 2014.

Congrats to my fellow shareholders on receiving this raise.

Thanks for reading

Matthew
