Summary · why it matters

General Mills declared a quarterly dividend of $0.61 per share, payable August 3 to shareholders of record on July 10, continuing a 127-year uninterrupted dividend history. While the dividend may qualify for preferential tax treatment, the cash received still becomes taxable income in the current year, illustrating the tradeoff between high-yield stocks and those that return value through price appreciation or buybacks.
