At the current share price ($373), the new payout represents a dividend yield of only 1.1%, leaving plenty of room of further increases.

DE posts solid FQ4Q21* results—guides_to_higher_profit_in_FY2022*

FY2022* GAAP EPS guidance is $20.70-22.30 (based on 314M diluted shares), up 8-17% vs actual $18.99 in FY2021.

All this in spite of the headwind from the recently settled labor strike that cut production during Oct and Nov.
