When statistically comparing last years dividend income total from January 2018 to January 2019, it represents a positive 8.8% for a year over year increased dividend income growth. BKE again has came through again with a very nice special dividend on top of a regular dividend. Now with around 5.7% dividend yield and with 11th straight annual special dividends paid, it is building itself in a very unique shareholder friendly company. Even though company has been going through plenty of retail sector headwinds, the company still can sustain paying dividend and fluctuated special dividend based on their annual performance. Also, revenues has come down slightly year over year, but BKE has been doing the right thing and buying back their shares and reducing the total number of shares outstanding.
I will DRIP the following upcoming month: VNQ & VYM.
The dividend income page has been updated accordingly.
