If adjusted for the Kontoor Brands spinoff earlier this year this marks the company's 47th consecutive year of annual dividend increases.
VF’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share, reflecting a 12 percent increase over the previous quarter's dividend. This dividend will be payable on December 20, 2019, to shareholders of record on December 10, 2019.
Yesterday VF closed at $90.82 near its all time high of $93.88. The current dividend yield is 1.9%. However this will be much higher because the stock trading down 12 percent premarket. Also the higher dividend will boost the current yield to above 2 percent.
