How to read this page

How it’s measured. Regular dividends per share by calendar year, adjusted for splits, for S&P 500 companies paying for at least five years. Growth is the yearly rate from five years ago to last year; the latest raise compares today’s rate with a year ago.

Sources. Dividend records from Financial Modeling Prep.

Fast dividend growth from a very low payout can continue for years; from a high payout it cannot outrun earnings for long. Check the payout column beside the growth.

Five-year growth looks back. A dividend is set by the board each quarter and can be cut at any time.
