Telia Company dividend decreased

For 2016, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) an ordinary dividend of SEK 2.00 per share (3.00 in 2015), totaling SEK 8.7 billion (13.0), or 120 percent of free cash flow attributable to continuing operations. Dividend should be split and distributed into two equal tranches of SEK 1.0 each.

Since I own 345 shares of TeliaCompany, this decrease will lower my 12 month forward dividends by 34.5€. A little disappointment but it was a expected decrease.

Nordea dividend increased

Nordea board proposes dividend increase. The bank raised its proposed dividend to 0.65 euro per share, up from 0.64 euro last year. It was higher than the 0.64 euro per share seen by analysts and corresponds to a 70 percent-of-profits payout ratio. The bank's ambition is to achieve a yearly increase in dividend.

Since I own 195 shares of Nordea, this increase will raise my 12 month forward dividends by 1.95€
