Becton Raises Dividend

The S&P 500 is back above 1,200 and our Buy List is currently up 0.40% on the day. Reynolds American ($RAI), our boring high-yield stock, just broke $41 which is an all-time high.

I said in the CWS Market Review from October 14th that I expected to see Becton, Dickinson ($BDX) raise its dividend for the 39th year in a row. I neglected to mention it this last week, but Becton did indeed raise its quarterly dividend from 41 cents to 45 cents per share. Based on the new dividend, the stock now yields 2.5%.
