Dividend Growth Weekly: U.S. Leaders & Global Gems

MaxDividends Mission: Helping people build growing passive income, retire early, and live off dividends.

🦅 Top Dividend Growth Focused Eagles of the Week

Each week we spotlight companies accelerating their dividend growth — reliable names built to push your passive income higher, faster, year after year.

🎬 Dividend Growth Weekly: Acceleration Mode

Where patience turns into momentum — and momentum turns into wealth.

Pull up a chair, dim the lights, and get ready — because this week’s story isn’t slow and predictable.

It’s the part where the soundtrack kicks in. The compounding engine roars to life. The snowball hits the downhill stretch — faster, heavier, unstoppable.

Every number we track, every payout we log, points to the same thing: dividend growth is accelerating — across industries, across borders, across the board.
This isn’t the patient grind anymore. This is momentum made visible.

In the spotlight this week: T. Rowe Price — the disciplined giant turning market volatility into rising cash for shareholders. Four decades of raises, zero debt, and now dividend growth moving faster than ever before.

Behind it, two more powerhouses are lining up — one industrial, one retail — both quietly delivering double-digit payout growth that makes “passive income” sound almost too modest.

The market’s still distracted, chasing headlines. But here, the real show is already rolling — dividends compounding at full speed while everyone else waits for a perfect moment that never comes.

Grab your coffee. Take your seat.

The lights are down — and this week’s episode of Dividend Growth Weekly is about to begin.

Comments

What stands out in this week’s lineup isn’t just stability — it’s speed. These companies aren’t merely maintaining their dividends; they’re accelerating them.

In financials, names like T. Rowe Price and Bank OZK are proving that disciplined balance sheets and conservative management create the perfect setup for faster dividend compounding. While much of Wall Street still hesitates around banks and asset managers, these two quietly turn every dollar of profit into growing shareholder income.

On the industrial side, companies like Snap-On, Illinois Tool Works, and Mueller Industries are running dividend growth rates north of 90%, 100%, even 250%. It’s rare to see this kind of acceleration from mature manufacturers — proof that strong execution and operational leverage can still deliver explosive compounding.

Consumer and retail names like Target and Lowe’s continue to show why Dividend Kings matter. After decades of consistent raises, their payout growth has actually sped up in the last five years — a clear sign of healthy cash flow and management commitment.

And don’t overlook the quiet specialists — Pool Corp, Primerica, and Toro. They don’t make headlines, but their five-year dividend growth rates are among the strongest anywhere in the market. These are the names fueling the next wave of dividend acceleration.

Put it all together, and this week’s list is a snapshot of momentum — dividends that are rising faster, payouts that are getting stronger, and companies that keep rewarding patience with speed.

The snowball isn’t just rolling anymore — it’s picking up pace.

This Top 10 is just one slice of the bigger picture

Inside the MaxDividends App you’ll find the full Dividend Eagles list — over 100 of the strongest dividend stocks.

• Dividend Eagles are companies that have raised their payouts for 15+ years straight. That means they kept paying more cash to shareholders through recessions, market crashes, and inflation spikes.
• Each Eagle carries a Financial Score above 90, which shows the company is stable, profitable, and safe for long-term income.
• Put simply: these are the most battle-tested, reliable income stocks you can own.

Everything is in one place, updated in real time, ready whenever you are. That’s your real dividend map — a must-have tool if you want income that grows for decades.

Bonus Chapter 😎

We’re true dividend fans, so we can’t help but peek beyond U.S. borders. Think of this as a bonus round — a quick look at how dividends play out worldwide, for those who like seeing the full picture.

🌍 3 International Dividend Growth Picks

• Current Yield (avg): 4.40%
  A strong starting point — but the real story is how fast these payouts are climbing.
• 5-Year Dividend Growth (avg): +184.03%
  That’s dividend growth on steroids — global names doubling and tripling payouts over a decade.
• Projected Yield on Cost (10 Years): ~27.03%
  If this pace holds, every $100 invested today could be paying you $10+ annually a decade from now.

These international names combine higher starting yields with accelerating dividend growth — the best of both worlds. While U.S. investors often focus at home, this trio shows why the next phase of income compounding might come from abroad.

goeasy Ltd (GSY) | 🇨🇦 Canada | 3.6% yield

5-yr dividend growth +277% | payout ~31% | Financial Score 98 | MaxRatio 42.9

A hidden powerhouse in Canadian credit services. Over the past five years, goeasy’s dividend has surged more than +270%, backed by expanding loan volumes, strong margins, and disciplined risk control. Despite the rapid growth, the payout ratio remains low, leaving plenty of room for future hikes.

Teleperformance SE (TEP) | 🇫🇷 France | 6.2% yield

5-yr dividend growth +103% | payout ~48% | Financial Score 99 | MaxRatio 24.6

A global leader in customer-experience outsourcing with operations in 80+ countries. After a sharp pullback, the stock trades undervalued — yet it continues to post triple-digit dividend growth. With a modest payout ratio and strong financials, Teleperformance remains one of Europe’s most attractive dividend recovery stories.

Novo Nordisk A/S (NOVO-B) | 🇩🇰 Denmark | 3.3% yield

5-yr dividend growth +173% | payout ~47% | Financial Score 97 | MaxRatio 17.9

A world-class healthcare leader and one of Europe’s fastest dividend growers. Over the past five years, Novo Nordisk has raised its payout by more than +170%, powered by global demand for its diabetes and obesity treatments. Strong earnings visibility and a balanced payout make it a cornerstone for long-term international income growth.

👉 Together, these three highlight the global shift toward faster dividend growth — from Canada to France to Denmark. They’re proof that passive income acceleration isn’t just an American story anymore.

💡 And remember: you’ll always find the full list of International Dividend Eagles right inside the MaxDividends App → Dividend Eagles → Tab International. It’s the easiest way to keep track of the strongest dividend payers across the globe, updated in real time.

🧙‍♂️ Become the Dividend Keeper

Build your guild. Grow your gold.

Think of yourself as the Keeper of Dividends. You’re not just buying stocks — you’re running your own guild of income producers.

1. Recruit only the best. Start with the Dividend Eagles (or this week’s Top 10). These are proven businesses: 15+ years of raises, strong finances, safe payouts.
2. Pick at your own pace. One recruit a week, one a month — it’s your guild, your rules. Lean into the brands you know and trust.
3. Wield the Cutter. If a company ever cuts its dividend, you swing the blade — out they go. Then you bring in another Eagle to keep the guild strong.
4. Watch the magic. Every year, your payouts rise. The snowball grows. Your guild gets stronger without chasing hype or noise.

Here, you’re the one in control — the guardian of growing income. MaxDividends gives you the map, the tools, and the roster of proven heroes. You decide who stays on your team.
