GM raises dividend by 20%
DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Co said on Wednesday it plans to raise its dividend by 20 percent, a move that comes as investors are calling on the auto giant to give them a bigger slice of the company's mounting pile of cash.
GM Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens said in an interview Wednesday that further return of capital to investors could happen later this year as soon as legal issues tied to the recall of a defective ignition switch linked to at least 51 deaths are resolved. He added GM prefers to carry the high end of its targeted cash range of $20 billion to $25 billion until then.
"As we get more clarity on those open items, I would expect that we would continue to evaluate further return of capital to shareholders and that could happen as soon as the second half of this year," he told Reuters.
Stevens said the planned increase, which will boost the company's annual outlay for dividends by about $400 million to $2.4 billion, was due to the strong 2014 results and stronger performance expected this year.

Costco to spend $2.2 bln to pay one-time dividend
Costco Wholesale Corp. said Friday that it will spend $2.2 billion to pay out a one-time dividend of $5 a share.
In 2012, Costco declared a special dividend of $7 a share, for a total value of $3 billion, as the retailer took advantage of easy lending terms to make the payout with borrowed funds.
The dividend comes as Costco, which sells groceries, fuel and other items in bulk, has bucked weak retail trends as it benefits from lower gasoline prices, strong store sales and membership fees.
Last month, Costco reported a 17% increase in profit on a 7% increase in same-store sales, excluding negative impacts from gasoline price deflation and foreign exchange.
- A quarterly cash dividend on Costco common stock of 35.5 cents per share. The quarterly dividend is payable February 27, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 13, 2015.
