Mcdonald’s (MCD) announced 11/10 a quarterly dividend from 0.85 to 0.89. The dividend is payable Dec. 15, 2015 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 1, 2015.
This is an increase of 5%. It beats inflation and MCD keeps their streak going.
MCD is a Dividend Champion and this is the 40th annual consecutive dividend increase for the company .
Since I own 18.17 shares, this will increase my yearly dividends by $2.91.
A raise is a raise even a small one. It’s amazing how everyone wrote off this stock about a year ago. MCD lost its way and headlines all screamed ‘sell.’ Of course, things have changed dramatically as MCD is sitting at all time highs and they continue their multi decade tradition of dividend raises.

DH,
Yes, I agree. I’ll take it. I don’t see MCD going anywhere long-term. I wish I had added more on the fairly recent slump.
Enjoy the raise!
We own MCD in our family’s dividend stocks portfolio. Big or small, glad to see yet another raise without lifting a finger! AFFJ

FFJ,
Congrats on the raise then. That’s what I love about dividend investing. We are paid just to hold shares in great companies.
Thanks for stopping by!
Not the greatest of raises, but I’ll take it! As long as dividend increases beat inflation, we’re good, right?
Take care!

FerdiS,
I hear you, a raise higher than inflation is still growing our money. I look forward to all the raises almost as much as the dividend payments. It’s great to see the income grow year over year.
Thanks for stopping by!
It took them long enough! Lanny and I were checking daily to see if they announced their dividend. I know they were deciding on whether or not they should become a REIT, which of course would have major dividend implications…but come on man. Why keep us in such suspense.
At the end of it all, a very solid increase was announced and just like you…I’M LOVING IT! There have been many disappointing dividend announcements this year, so it was nice to see that MCD delivered for us shareholders.
