Many high-quality stocks—some of which are part of our Dividend Hike portfolio or even carry the coveted Dividend Hero title—rewarded shareholders with generous increases. In total, we saw 19 double-digit hikes, with the largest increase coming from a stock right inside our very own portfolio!
Let’s dive into some of the biggest names (market cap $100B+), each making waves with their latest dividend moves:
Walmart (WMT): A rock-solid 13.3% boost, marking its 52nd consecutive year of dividend growth. Yield now sits at 1.0%—a steady and reliable performer for dividend seekers.
