The Monroe, La., company (CTL) raised its quarterly common payout to 70 cents a share from 6.75 cents, effective in the third quarter. To bring its second-quarter dividend, which was paid June 24, up to the new 70-cent rate, it declared a one-time disbursement of 63.25 cents a share. Stockowners of record July 7 will receive the bonus payout July 21. The ex-dividend date is July 2. Distributions have been made without interruption since 1974 and increased every year. That's not all. CenturyTel is accelerating its stock-repurchase program. It expects to complete the remaining approximately $385 million of its current $750 million authorization by the end of 2008 or early '09. Once that's done, it plans to utilize more buybacks, plus maybe more dividend hikes, to continue to return substantially all its free cash flow to shareholders.
