By Paul Ziobro

 

Mondelez raised its quarterly dividend by 11%, about a year after its last increase.

The snacking company behind Oreo cookies and Ritz crackers said Tuesday that its board increased the cash dividend to 47 cents a share from 42.5 cents.

The new payout, equal to $1.88 a year, represents an annual yield of about 2.8%, based on Tuesday's closing price of $67.05.

The dividend is payable on Oct. 14 to shareholders of record as of Sept. 30.

The company last announced a dividend increase in July 2023.
