  • Dividend has been cut 5 timesAcross 39 complete years, the annual total fell in 1983, 1985, 2006 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2006.
  • Raised for 19 consecutive yearsA long record of increases suggests both the cash generation to fund them and a management commitment to maintaining them. This figure is derived from payment history and is approximate.
