Western Union Dividend Outlook After Telephonetakeover
The Western Union Telegraph Company, freed from American Telephone Company control, faces a 4 percent dividend with questions on sustaining or raising payouts. Since 1999 management changes boosted gross earnings by 50 percent, yet net revenue lagged behind, while reinvestment and reconstruction reduced per share surplus. Outlook remains cautious but expects steady growth barring further policy shifts.
