American Tower Incrementally Raises Dividend
American Tower is about to put a few more coins into the pockets of its investors. The company has declared its latest quarterly dividend, which is $0.27 per share. This will be paid on July 16 to shareholders of record as of June 17. That amount is $0.01 higher than the firm's previous distribution; this was paid in late April.
