5 Best Dividend Stocks To Own For 2014

Tweet

At today’s current share price of around $56 per share, with $2 billion the company could buy back around 35 million shares, or 8.8% of the 401 million shares currently in float. But that same $2 billion would increase the dividend by roughly only $0.41 per share, and since the buyback program is over a number of years, if we split the dividend by four, shareholders would get only about an extra $0.10 per share per year, or $0.025 per quarter.
