Boeing Co. is poised for its largest dividend increase since the financial crisis, returning cash to investors as it tries to bolster a stock price hurt by delays to its 787 Dreamliner jets.
The quarterly payout may rise 9.1 percent to 48 cents a share next month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with a 4.8 percent boost last year and no change in 2010, and would be the most for Chicago-based Boeing since a 14 percent jump in December 2007.
