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. Not investment advice.
