Dividend has been cut 7 timesAcross 15 complete years, the annual total fell in 2017, 2021, 2022 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2022.
Raised for 3 consecutive yearsDerived from split-adjusted payment history and approximate; treat it as a relative signal rather than a certified record.
