Lancaster Colony raised its quarterly dividend 5.5%, reflecting its strong financial position.
The board of directors increased the dividend 5 cents to 95 cents a share.
The new payout, equal to $3.80 a year, represents an annual yield of 2% based on Tuesday's closing price of $191.35.
The dividend will be payable Dec. 31 to shareholders of record on Dec. 5, the food company said Wednesday.
The increase marks 62 consecutive years of Lancaster Colony raising its cash dividend.
