Procter & Gamble Has Raised Its Dividend for 70 Straight Years.

Only 5 Other Companies Can Say the Same

Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) raised its quarterly dividend 3% in April to $1.0885 per share, marking its 70th consecutive year of dividend increases. Only five other publicly traded companies have raised their payouts for that many years in a row. The streak is even more remarkable when you zoom out.

P&G has paid a dividend every year since its incorporation in 1890 — 136 straight years. And the payments are enormous in absolute terms, too. The company behind Tide, Pampers, and Gillette expects to pay around $10 billion in dividends in fiscal 2026, plus roughly $5 billion in share repurchases on top of it.
