Sweet! just had to share..
Bought ABT sometime last year, long before the "split" of ABBV. Well, ABBV has soared since the split (~36% for me), and ABBV took "most" of the ABT dividend with them. However, since I'm in it for the long term, I kept both halves of the split. ABT has bounced around anywhere from +1 to +15% for me since, with a measly .14/qtr dividend. Today however, that changed. Announced today they beat their profit estimates and the stock is up 6+%, also boosting the divvy 57%. Wowsers thats a "big" boost! Still only a 2.45% dividend, but its getting back to normal range, which I had a feeling it would eventually.
