Anon: No. In my analysis I use the lower of the 1, 3, 5 or 10 year compound annual growth rate. The above statements are for effect - if you are going to focus on a single number it should be growth rate not yield.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes<BR/>D4L

DGI/DFL:<BR/><BR/>that's really shockingly sloppy. you base your projections for growth, not even upon the historical div growth rate (8%)- which is an overestimate for forward growth the vast majority of the time, but from a SINGLE INCREASE??

sirbeef: Don't look at the 2%, look at the 18% - long-term that is the important number.<BR/><BR/>DGI: I am actually taking a hard look at MSFT. My problem is my models were not designed to analyze a company that has paid a dividend less than 10 years.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes,<BR/>D4L

If MSFT keeps raising the dividends as fast as it has over the past 3-4 years I wouldn't be surprised if the yield on cost in a decade hits 8 - 10%..
