As an investor in the stock market, I like it when my positions do well. I like investing even more when the stocks I own reward me as a shareholder with dividend increases. I and my fellow shareholders receive a dividend increase when the specific company does well.
As we continue to battle COVID19 pandemic across the world and new variants
being discovered, it is great to see some great positive news.
On January 26, 2021, Canadian National Railway “CN Rail” release its
earnings. CN Rail trades on both the Toronto
Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols CNR and CNI,
respectively.
In the earnings release, CN Rail announced a dividend increase from $0.575
CAD per share quarterly to $0.615 CAD per share quarterly. That is a 6.96% increase!
I own 38 shares of CNR in my TFSA. This increase
adds $6.08 CAD to my annual dividend income.
CN Rail also announced a new normal course issuer bid for share repurchase,
which you can read about here.

Hey Lanny,
DeleteThanks for dropping by. CN had a rough start to 2020 with only like 10% of freight moving for a week due to blockades on some of its rail lines. Then the pandemic hit and freight volumes decreased due to lockdowns across the country. So, I definitely welcome this raise.
Congrats on your raise as a Norfolk Southern shareholder.
Nice. Love me some cnr!
