Costco, P&G, J&J among few to hike dividend during coronavirus crisis (Reuters) - Warehouse operator Costco Wholesale Corp ( COST.O ) on Wednesday raised its quarterly dividend by about 8%, joining a small but growing list of companies to do so at a time when most of corporate America is suspending shareholders returns in order to shore up liquidity as the coronavirus crisis deepens. Healthcare conglomerate Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ.N ) and consumer goods company Procter & Gamble ( PG.N ) also raised their quarterly dividends by about 6% each on Tuesday. Demand for consumer and healthcare products, groceries and other essential items has risen dramatically as people stockpile to tide over the lockdowns imposed to curb the COVID-19 padnemic, caused by the new coronavirus.
