SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Nice and cool here also,,,, even the racoon is running for warmth!!!!!
The shareholders of Dr Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE:DPS) have enjoyed strong capital gains to go with a steadily rising dividend.
The stock is up 22% this year, far outpacing the S&P 500's 7% increase. Furthermore, the company has raised its dividend every year since being spun off from British confectioner Cadbury Schweppes in 2008. Its three- to five-year dividend growth rate is 17%.
The latest increase was announced in February, when the Plano, Texas-based company hiked the quarterly payout by 7.9% to 41 cents a share, or $1.64 annually.
That works out to an annual dividend yield of 2.8% at the current share price, a nice premium to the S&P's average of 1.9%.
Dr Pepper Snapple, whose roots go back to 1885, owns more than 50 brands.
They include its namesake beverages as well as 7UP, A&W, Canada Dry, Crush and Hawaiian Punch.
As with many well-established companies, profit growth has been slow but steady.
Not yet,,, but days are getting shorter already!! What happened to pop the European markets,???, I missed something?????

K--Goldman Sachs downgraded Kellogg to Sell on expectations the company's sales will miss expectations and its full year guidance could be cut when the company reports on July 31. Goldman thinks sales weakness is wiping out benefits from cost-savings and it lowered its price target for shares to $59 from $64.
