Dividend
growth stocks
Plenty of stocks pay a high dividend today. These are some of the ones whose dividend is growing fast. I ran every US-listed company through the rules below. 15 passed, and I hand-picked 5 to show you.

- AT LEAST10%dividend growth a year over 2022 to 2025
- AT MOST50%of earnings paid out as dividends

This screen leaves out REITs and banks, because dividends against earnings mean something different for them. Insurers and brokers are not left out. Special one-time dividends don't count toward growth. Screened on November 10, 2026 from SEC filings (earnings, shares) and Yahoo Finance (prices, dividends).
What I picked
Sorted by dividend growth. The order is not a ranking of quality. I'm not saying these are the best or the safest of the 15.
New York Times
- YIELD
- 1.21%
- YEARS OF RAISES
- 7 years
- PAYOUT RATIO
- 35%
- MARKET VALUE
- $11.7 billion
It sells subscriptions to its news and to products like Cooking, Games, Wirecutter and The Athletic, and had 13.8 million subscribers at the end of the third quarter of 2026. Its dividend went from $0.34 a share in 2022 to $0.67 in 2025, the fastest growth of the 15. It has raised it 7 years in a row, the shortest streak this screen allows. In early November, the New York Times Company was reported to be in talks to buy Letterboxd for about $330 million. No deal has been announced.
Intuit
- YIELD
- 1.47%
- YEARS OF RAISES
- 10+ years
- PAYOUT RATIO
- 30%
- MARKET VALUE
- $90.4 billion
It makes TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma and Mailchimp. It bought Credit Karma in December 2020 and Mailchimp in November 2021. Its dividend went from $2.82 a share in 2022 to $4.32 in 2025, and it pays out only 30% of its earnings. Its tax business is seasonal, with most sales between November and April.
Oracle
- YIELD
- 1.67%
- YEARS OF RAISES
- 10+ years
- PAYOUT RATIO
- 31%
- MARKET VALUE
- $362.2 billion
It sells business software and cloud computing. Its dividend went from $1.28 a share in 2022 to $1.90 in 2025, and it pays out 31% of its earnings. One thing to know: Oracle's free cash flow for its fiscal year ending May 2026 was negative $23.7 billion, because it is spending heavily on data centers for its cloud business.
Aflac
- YIELD
- 1.92%
- YEARS OF RAISES
- 10+ years
- PAYOUT RATIO
- 35%
- MARKET VALUE
- $61.9 billion
It sells supplemental health and life insurance in Japan and the US, paying cash benefits when a policyholder gets sick or hurt. It reports two businesses, Aflac Japan and Aflac U.S., and Japan's results are earned in yen, so the yen-dollar exchange rate moves what it reports in dollars. Its dividend went from $1.60 a share in 2022 to $2.32 in 2025, at a 35% payout.
Nasdaq
- YIELD
- 1.07%
- YEARS OF RAISES
- 10+ years
- PAYOUT RATIO
- 32%
- MARKET VALUE
- $60.2 billion
It runs stock exchanges, but it is also a technology company: it sells market data and indexes, and software to banks and other firms, including tools to catch money laundering. Its dividend went from $0.78 a share in 2022 to $1.05 in 2025. That is the slowest growth of the five showcased, at 10.4% a year, with 10+ years of raises.
Dividends a share are calendar-year totals from Yahoo Finance, adjusted for splits. Company descriptions are from each company's own filings and annual reports. Oracle's cash flow figure is from its reported fiscal 2026 results. The New York Times subscriber count and Letterboxd news are from news reports (Reuters).
