United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.535 per share, or $2.14 annualized. This is an 11.5% increase from the prior dividend of $0.48.
The dividend will be payable on September 10, 2012, to stockholders of record on August 17, 2012, with an ex-dividend date of August 15, 2012.
Annual yield on the dividend is 2.9 percent.
"Increasing the dividend reflects our confidence that UTC's ongoing portfolio transformation, investments in game-changing technologies, and strong presence in emerging markets will sustain our solid cash flow and position us for long-term earnings growth," said UTC Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Louis Chenevert."
The last time United Tech boosted its payout was for its May 2011 dividend, which was a 5.5 cent increase over the prior dividend. Both today's raise and that raise are the some, but there is one key difference: yield.
Annual yield on the May 2011 dividend was 2.2 percent, up from 2.0 percent with the prior dividend. However, shares have dropped about $13 since then, boosting the yield on today's announced payout increase even more.
Shares ended the session down 1.09 percent Wednesday, but are positive in late trading.
