That’s really a lame dividend. I have no idea why the stock would shoot up 15% to $160 on the news that shareholders will receive $0.20 per share. Even with the buyback program it won’t be that big of a boost. The better asset allocation would’ve been to keep innovating but I guess they’re out of ideas?
