Dividend?
Is anyone disappointed IBM did not raise their dividend? I know they are being ultra conservative, and want to continue the share buyback program. But, I expected an increase...

Ibm will rase the dividend then they will do a split.becouse the dividend is to high.
Sentiment: Hold
-
Historically, dividends are raised in the second Q. I did not expect a dividend increse in the first Q.
Stock prices already reflect an expected increase so I wouldn't anticipate a price impact when it is announced.Sentiment: Buy

bob,
I do not expect a price impact. However, I do anticipate they will vote to increase the dividend and continue to fund the share buyback program.

How can they raise their dividend when they are resorting to so much debt (almost $34 B ) in order to buy back their stock ?
The directors are taking the proceeds out the rear door as they cash in their option grants .
It is all there in the Yahoo insiders trading section , IF the bozos who are buying are not too lazy to do their own due diligence . -
I believe you won't hear about one until end of April. (After 1st Q)
