This would represent an increase of 7.2 percent. The dividend — which would be equivalent to an annual rate of $3.12 per share — would be payable March 1, 2023, to stockholders of record on Feb. 14, 2023.
“The board’s review today is consistent with our ongoing plan targeting a dividend payout ratio of 65 to 70 percent of earnings,” said Gale Klappa, executive chairman.
