The Biggest Dividend Raises of 2026 (So Far)

New Dividend Raises (After this video)

The Raise: 14.4%

The Stat: The forward-looking P/E ratio is historically low at around 20.

My Verdict: DPZ has become a highly reliable dividend growth stock, raising its payout every single year since 2013. Business growth is directly powering this dividend, keeping the free cash flow payout ratio at a healthy 35%. It looks decently attractive right now, especially if you want to diversify away from tech stocks.

The Raise: 5.3% (plus a $30 billion stock buyback program).

The Stat: The stock is up 171% over the past 3 years, pushing its P/E ratio into the 40s.

My Verdict: This raise was actually a bit conservative compared to their recent double-digit hikes. Walmart is trading at a premium multiple today because higher-margin segments like digital ads and memberships are growing. It’s not super overvalued given this shift in fundamentals, but it's also not a buying opportunity right now.

The Raise: 3.9%

The Stat: The net income payout ratio sits at a sustainable 66%.

My Verdict: KO's free cash flow payout ratio recently looked terrifying (over 165%) due to one-time GAAP accounting hits like an IRS settlement and the Fairlife acquisition. The payout is completely safe and should return to normal, but KO is trading at a premium for low earnings growth. Don't expect massive raises here.

The Raise: 16.7%

The Stat: Quarterly earnings per share have more than tripled in just two years.

My Verdict: FIX is making a killing by providing HVAC and piping for the massive AI data center boom. The dividend yield is incredibly low (0.21%), but the dividend growth is explosive because the underlying fundamentals are exploding. If you missed the 900% stock run over the last 3 years, keep this on your watch list.

The Raise: 20%

The Stat: 59% of their overall revenue in the latest quarter ($19.6 billion) comes from their infrastructure segment, not consumer PCs.

My Verdict: Dell is no longer the dinosaur laptop company you see at Best Buy. They are a massive supplier of critical compute infrastructure for AI data centers. This massive 20% raise is a huge signal of confidence from Michael Dell about their future earning power.

The Raise: 1.3%

The Stat: The company is sitting on an all-time high of $72 billion in net debt.

My Verdict: Dividend growth is slowing to a crawl because earnings have plateaued and they halted their aggressive share repurchases. While the payout is technically sustainable, don't expect a return to the double-digit raises of the past decade anytime soon.
