DJ Nike Boosts Quarterly Dividend By 12%

By Robb M. Stewart

Nike Inc.'s board has approved a 12% increase in the footwear giant's quarterly cash dividend.

The company said Friday it will pay a dividend of 27.5 cents a share on class A and B stock, up from the prior payout rate of 24.5 cents.

The move marks a 19th consecutive year of increasing dividends and reflects Nike's financial strength and a record of returning capital to shareholders, the company said.
