MARKETS / GLOSSARY / DIVIDEND GROWTH STREAK

Dividend growth streak

How long a company has raised its dividend without interruption. It is a record of management's revealed priorities rather than a promise.

What this number does not tell you

A streak is bounded by how far the data goes back — this site holds up to 19 fiscal years, so 18 is the longest streak it can prove, and a company with a fifty-year record shows the same 18 here. A streak also says nothing about the size of the raise: a rise of one cent counts.

Every metric on this site is published with its blind spot stated. A figure without its limit is half a fact.
