Home Depot (HD) announced a 2.2% increase in its quarterly dividend on February 25, 2025, raising it from $2.25 per share to $2.30 per share. This adjustment results in an annual dividend of $9.20 per share, payable on March 27, 2025, to shareholders of record on March 13, 2025. This marks the 152nd consecutive quarter that Home Depot has paid a cash dividend, underscoring its long-standing commitment to returning value to shareholders. The company has also increased its dividend annually for 16 consecutive years, earning it recognition as a "dividend achiever."The 2.2% increase is relatively modest compared to some of Home Depot’s historical raises, such as the 7.7% boost in the previous year (2024). However, it aligns with the company’s cautious outlook for fiscal 2025, as it navigates challenges like high interest rates, sluggish home sales, and macroeconomic pressures affecting consumer spending on home improvement projects.
Domino's Pizza announced a 15.2% increase in its quarterly dividend on February 24, 2025, raising it from $1.51 per share to $1.74 per share. This marks the 12th consecutive year of dividend increases for the company.This increase came alongside the release of Domino’s Q4 2024 financial results, which reported earnings per share (EPS) of $4.89 (missing the estimate of $4.92) and revenue of $1.44 billion (missing the estimate of $1.48 billion). Despite the earnings miss, the dividend hike demonstrates the company’s confidence in its financial stability and commitment to returning value to shareholders.For dividend growth investors, Domino’s Pizza remains an attractive option due to its consistent history of increases, low payout ratio, and strong cash flow generation. However, the low yield (1.51%) may not appeal to income-focused investors seeking higher immediate returns. The recent 15.2% hike, combined with the stock’s price drop post-earnings, could present a buying opportunity for long-term investors, but they should monitor the company’s ability to navigate economic challenges and sustain growth.
The TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX) has announced a notable 13% increase in its quarterly dividend, raising it to $0.425 per share. This decision, announced in late February 2025, reflects the company’s strong financial performance and confidence in its ongoing growth.TJX reported strong fourth-quarter results for Fiscal Year 2025 (ending February 2025), with sales of $16.4 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $1.23, both exceeding expectations. Comparable store sales grew by 5%, and the pretax profit margin reached 11.6%, indicating robust operational performance. This financial strength likely underpins the decision to raise the dividend and plan for a share buyback program of $2–$2.5 billion for Fiscal Year 2026.
