(Boursier.com) — MasterCard announced last night an increase in its quarterly dividend to 57 cents per share, against 49 cents previously. The new dividend will be payable on February 9 to shareholders registered on January 9, 2023. This is therefore a 16% increase in the dividend. The group also announced a new $9 billion share buyback program, which will take effect once the previous $8 billion program is finalized. There remains $4.1 billion to be redeemed under the previous program.
