Hi everyone in today’s post I will share a dividend increase with you that I received this month. Raises this year have really tapered off, that is why I am happy to share this with you. I am a little late with posting this but as they say it’s better late than never lol.
On July 9th Walgreen’s Boots Alliance’s board of directors announced they were going to raise the dividend by 2.2%. The dividend is now going to be $0.4675 per quarter up from $0.4575. I currently own 20 shares of the company so my income will grow $0.20 per quarter. It’s obviously not a lot of money but I’m happy to see it go up.

All About The Dividends 
Hey Matthew,
Congrats on the increase. It sucks that majority of the increases that were pegged for this year have decreased and worse that many have cut back. So its a nice little surprise when these “raises” come around.
Cheers!
