On Oct. 23, 2025, McDonald's (MCD) increased its dividend by 5.08%, from $1.77 to $1.86 per share. The dividend is payable on Dec. 15 to shareholders of record on Dec. 1.
The stock's contribution to my portfolio's projected annual dividend income will increase by $18 to $372. I own 50 shares of McDonald's stock at an average cost basis of $148.63 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost is 5.01% (the stock's forward yield is 2.43% at $305.79 per share).
Since I opened my position in September 2014, the stock has produced a total return of 135%, including $2,155.13 in dividend income. That's a splendid annualized rate of return of 12.3%.
McDonald's became my portfolio's 10th Home Run stock in January 2018, when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
