MCD

McDonald’s (MCD) has come up with an extra large quarterly dividend serving, and its shareholders can’t get enough of it. Staying true to its record of increasing its dividend every year, the fast-food giant announced on Thursday that it’s hiking its quarterly dividend by 33% to 50 cents a share, for an annual payout of $2 a share.

The restaurant chain has so far skirted the slowdown in the U.S. and clocked a same-store sales growth of 8.5% in August. In the last three months, the stock has come up by around 11% in value. No wonder, the shareholders are 'lovin’ it.' The stock gained around 19 cents in the morning and is trading at $62.46.
