While researching 3M’s (MMM) decades-long history of paying and growing its dividend, I couldn’t find any time its stock had a 5% yield.
Indeed, although 3M is a Dividend King that has raised its annual payout to shareholders for 64 consecutive years, only rarely in the last half-century has one of the world’s foremost industrial conglomerates even yielded 4% or more:
Near the end of the 2009 Great Recession.
During the depths of the 2020 Covid crash.
Right now.
That’s right … due to a plunging stock price and a little (too little, some might argue) dividend growth, 3M’s yield has hit the 4% mark again.
For that reason, and a few others I’ll get to shortly, I decided to add to the Income Builder Portfolio’s MMM stake. On Tuesday, Feb. 22, I executed a purchase order for 5 shares on behalf of Greg Patrick, this site’s co-owner (and IBP money man).
MMM bought via limit order that filled in 2 separate buys a moment apart; APD also bought via limit order.
As you can see, I used the remainder of Greg’s $1,000 semi-monthly allocation to add a share of Air Products & Chemicals (APD).
APD is the IBP’s newest position, one we initiated on Dec. 21. I felt comfortable buying it at $293 then, so I was quite happy to snag another share of it Tuesday for more than $50 less. Morningstar gives it a $331 fair value, and I think we got a pretty good deal here.
