Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAH) Dividend Increase Announced on May 9, 2018



Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAH) has raised its dividend, although not at an especially high rate.  The next dividend payment will be 10% higher than the first payment I received early 2017.  That rate of increase translates into a 7% annualized increase.  Over the past year, the increase is 6%

While the dividend payments have moved up slightly, the value of the shares has actually declined in the time that I have owned CAH.

If CAH continues to grow its dividend at such a slow pace, it will likely have to be sold to be replaced by another security in the nP portfolio.  But at its current valuation, CAH is not a candidate to sell.
