"The dividend you receive from Alaris returns more than the rate of inflation no matter how many variables you plug into your equation."

If the dividend does not increase at least as fast as inflation, the purchasing power of the dividend falls. This is true no matter what the initial dividend (or yield) is.

Inflation is a measure of change, but your initial yield is a fixed value. Yield and inflation aren't measured in the same units. Just as in other analytical sciences, things that are measured in different units are not comparable. Saying that your yield exceeds inflation has no meaning.

When you buy a stock for income, you pay an amount up front (cost base) and the dividend amount at that time determines your yield. But the yield on cost base has no bearing on the future purchasing power of that dividend income ... or do you think that it does?

Obviously a 3% increase in the distribution is not equivalent to a 7% increase in the CPI - but I guess your are ignoring the fact that the 3% increase brings the total dividend that Alaris is paying out to a little bit over 8%.  The dividend you receive from Alaris returns more than the rate of inflation no matter how many variables you plug into your equation.
