Thursday,
May 25th the Board of Directors of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
(CM) announced
a quarterly dividend increase of from C$0.85 to C$0.87 per share
that’s payable July 28, 2023 to holders of record June 28, 2023.
This represents a 2.35% increase over the last quarterly dividend.
With current price C$57.54 (yesterday’s
close), this raise brings their dividend yield to 6.05%.
CIBC is a member of Canadian Dividend
All Star List with a 13 year streak of dividend increases. Dividend
growth rates for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years are 10.7, 5.3, 5.2 and 6.1
(Canadian
Dividend All-Star List)
Since I own 140 shares of CIBC, this
will increase my portfolio’s projected annual net dividend income by
$6.12.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce last
raised its dividend in December 2022, so it looks like the
pre-pandemic era is back and the dividend will probably rise again
twice a year. If that’s going to happen, then I’m relative fine with
this increase.
This is the 7th dividend increase I
received from CM since initiating a position December 2018. During
this period, the quarterly dividend has increased moderately from
$0.68 to $0.87, or 27.9%
This increase raises my YOC to 7.54%.
