BCE reports 2014 Q4 and full-year results, announces 2015 financial outlook - Common share dividend increased 5.3% to $2.60 per year finance.yahoo.com COMMON SHARE DIVIDEND INCREASE Today's dividend announcement represents BCE's 11th increase to its annual common share dividend, representing a 78% increase, in the past 6 years. The BCE annualized common share dividend will increase 5.3%, or 13 cents per share, from $2.47 to $2.60 effective with BCE's Q1 2015 dividend payable on April 15, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2015. With this increase, BCE will maintain the dividend payout ratio(4) within its target policy range of 65% to 75% of free cash flow. The higher dividend for 2015 is fully supported by higher expected free cash flow generation and a strong business outlook for 2015.
