Quarterly dividends

The Board has declared a fourth interim dividend for 2018 of 23 pence per share (Q4 2017: 23 pence per share).



GSK recognises the importance of dividends to shareholders and aims to distribute regular dividend payments that will be determined primarily with reference to the free cash flow generated by the business after funding the investment necessary to support the Group's future growth.



The Board intends to maintain the dividend for 2019 at the current level of 80p per share, subject to any material change in the external environment or performance expectations. Over time, as free cash flow strengthens, it intends to build free cash flow cover of the annual dividend to a target range of 1.25-1.50x, before returning the dividend to growth.



Payment of dividends

The equivalent interim dividend receivable by ADR holders will be calculated based on the exchange rate on 9 April 2019. An annual fee of $0.03 per ADS (or $0.0075 per ADS per quarter) (2018: $0.02 per ADS; $0.005 per ADS per quarter) is charged by the Depositary.



The ex-dividend date will be 21 February 2019, with a record date of 22 February 2019 and a payment date of 11 April 2019.

So with a yield of about 5.25%, static for the last 4 years and static for the next period and improving cover before increasing income this sounds a lot like AstraZennca with there 7 years static except GSK will start you at 5.25% whereas AZN only 3.79%.
I use current yields from https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/dividend ... y?epic=AZN

I hold both of the pharmas, and have no intention of buying more of either any time soon, as I have full holdings already. The yields on offer are fine by me, and I shall continue to hold.

Thanks Ian.
Well at least the dividend will be held even though Adjusted EPS is due to decline in 2019 by between 5 to 9%.
The market likes them from a low of 1476.8 to a high of 1539.8.
