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

I don’t own RBC directly – but my funds I am sure will benefit from this 🙂

Nice! Love getting raises like that! Actually, I just got a 6% raise on my dividends from Altria Group as well (MO)! I was very happy about that! From the time I initially bought, my shares are paying almost 9% dividend from that purchase price! Gotta love steady dividends!

Every year, they have been steadily increasing it! Been loving it! Just shows that when you buy solid dividend paying stocks, you really can grow your portfolio! I hope the dividends continue to flow for the both of us!

That increase is still higher than the average salary increase! Most salaries in Canada increase by 2% inflation rate.
