Carnival Corp raised its quarterly dividend, continuing an upward swing over the past several years.
The Arnold Donald-led company today announced a first-quarter payout of $0.50 per share, up from $0.45 per share for the previous three-month period.
The latest dividend marks the first time that it has reached a half dollar since late 2012 in a one-time spike surrounded by several dividends of $0.25.
