Dividends by the Numbers in January 2025
January 2025 got off to a strong start for the dividend paying companies in the U.S. stock market, as they delivered a net positive month for their shareholding owners.
The single number that best summarizes the month is +27, which is the net amount by which favorable dividend changes outnumbered unfavorable changes.
That balance was tipped strongly in favor of favorable changes such as dividend increases and extra (or special) dividends paid during January 2025. The combined number of these favorable changes was 230, which is 30 higher than what was recorded in January 2024.
The number of companies announcing unfavorable changes like dividend decreases and omissions (or suspensions) also rose year-over-year, but only by a total of three firms. The total number of unfavorable changes was 18 in January 2025, just three more than in January of a year earlier. The net change in the year-over-year changes therefore works out to be +27 (the difference between the 30 more favorable changes less the 3 more unfavorable changes).
All the month’s favorable and unfavorable changes are listed and totaled in the following table.
