3M Co (MMM) boosted its quarterly dividend to $1.025, or $4.10 annually. The dividend will be payable on March 12 to shareholders of record on February 13. The stock will go ex-dividend on February 11. The stock now has a dividend yield of 2.6%.

Stock Sits at All-Time Highs

With its most decent dividend increase, 3M now offers a decent yield to its shareholders. However, the stock is at all time highs and has an expensive valuation in our view.
