they've raised their dividends every year for the past 42 years. their dividend payout ratio (which would be considered high at 60%), is currently sitting at 37.9%, which means they can easily raise their dividend for the next few years.
with that said, even if Amazon was to start offering pharma services overnight, it would still be at least years before they impacted Walgreens' bottom line, if they actually do so...during which u can be profiting off of their dividends.
Edit: 42 years, my bad

AT&T (T) has had 32 years of dividend growth, and I peeped the drop yesterday. I already own shares in the company, but I'm def planning on copping more because of this...with that said, expect dependable growth in dividends from here out, but don't expect large dividend gains (basically, don't expect them to raise their dividends over 10% any given year). telecommunications is an extremely cutthroat industry, if u were going to invest in the industry, I would suggest only either AT&T or Verizon Wireless. again, expect good, dependable dividends, but don't expect heavy dividend growth.

yeah, u might wanna wait on the dip for UPS, its 52 week range is $102.12 - $120.80, and it's currently valued at $117.68. def good dividends in there, the company also has good cash flow.
I used to consider IBM solely for the fact that Warren Buffett had it as one of his "Top 4." however, the company's prospects, plus the cost of stock shares, were prohibitive to me when I was researching it (couple of years ago). with that said, lately I keep reading about IBM's upcoming plans for blockchain technology, so...if u can get a good deal on valuation, u might wanna go for it.
another "slow" month of dividends, for me...in October I only got dividend payments from:
Coca Cola (KO)
Vanguard's Total World ETF (VT)
Realty Income (O)
General Electric (GE)
waaay too much chatter about the possibility of GE cutting their dividend. before, I wasn't thinking this was gonna happen, thinking that they would just suspend buybacks for a year or two, but all this chatter has helped bring down the share price, so now they just might gon' head and do it smh. if so (their next meeting is in early November, and we'll find out then), I'm selling all my shares, and buying more shares of another company. still hoping that they don't tho.

the simple answer is, they haven't had any good earnings for a few quarters, and it's starting to affect the company. dividend buybacks can only go so far, if the company isn't earning, eventually it will wear on them, affecting stock price as well as dividends: http://fortune.com/2017/10/23/pg-stock-buybacks/
2 of my companies just announced a hike in their dividends...which means I just got 2 raises :grimace:
Aflac (AFL) just raised theirs 4.70% to 45 cents/share. this was their 35th annual dividend increase.
VF Corp (VFC) just raised theirs 9.20% to 46 cents/share. this was their 45th consecutive annual dividend increase.

When does VOO pay out dividends? I had this ETF a long time ago and it did well but I had to liquidate my account. I forgot it pays dividends. I invested back in this at the beginning of last month. Have 12 shares. 2.25% return in a month time so far. Not bad.
My damn DPZ (Dominoes Pizza) stock been performing horribly. Down 17.58% since I bought last month. Sheesh. But I'm in this one for the long play. My Netflix stock is doing well. Up 4.08% I bought it and it comprises about half of my portfolio. Just waiting for it to stay above the $200 plateau.
Got some extra money in my account to invest. Any ideas??

Looks like they pay quarterly; every december, march, june, september
Last time was sept 20
As for what to do with that money look at some of the stocks mentioned in the last few pages....and buy if they are going for the low. compare current stock price to '52 wk low/high' and buy if its closer to the low end.
And just type stock symbol and "dividend payout" to check the payout amount, history, dates, etc.
Cant name u anything specific atm bc my attn been elsewhere but @_Jay has been dropping good info
^^ good looks
VOO pays dividends quarterly, December, March, June, and September.
I can't say what another man does with his portfolio, but as long as Dominos (DPZ) doesn't cut their dividend, I'd say let it keep trucking. hell, add more shares when their stock price goes below what you've previously paid for.
Netflix (NFLX) doesn't pay dividends, but I'd def hold on to that one for the long term. I kinda wish I had purchased some shares back when their stock split.
Ideas? Hmm...:
Archer-Daniels Midland (ADM)
AFLAC (AFL)
CVS Health (CVS)
Disney (DIS)
General Dynamics (GD)
General Mills (GIS)
Genuine Parts Company (GPC)
Realty Income (O)
Store Capital (STOR)
Starbucks (SBUX)
AT&T (T)
Target (TGT)
T Rowe Price (TROW)
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA)
possibles (waiting on how Amazon will affect their futures):
Leggett & Platt (LEG)
Williams-Sonoma (WSM)
