Dividend growth
Average yearly change in the calendar-year payout
| 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|

Raised 7 years in a row. Complete years only: 2026 is still running.
How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 2.35%: the 4 payments of the last twelve months ($3.78) divided by today's price. Forward yield 2.28%: the latest payment times 4, divided by the same price. Fund sites often quote a 30-day SEC yield instead, which uses the holdings' income in the last month, so it can differ from both.
