About this data#
Payments come from ChartRow's own dividend record, one row per ex-date, split-adjusted. A payment more than 2.5 times the year's median is treated as a special dividend or a distribution and left out of the annual total, the run-rate and the streak. The annual dividend is the latest regular payment times the number of payments a year; the yield divides it by the last close. Years of raises counts consecutive complete calendar years in which that payment rose over the prior year's — a cut, a flat year or a gap ends the count, and the current year is not counted until it is over. Where the run reaches the start of our record (1995 for many long-lived payers) it is shown with a plus sign, because it may be longer. The payout ratio is dividends paid over net income, both trailing twelve months from the company's SEC filings, and is blank where earnings are negative. Not investment advice.
