Calculate CAGR and project future dividend payments
Based on historical CAGR of -, here's how the dividend could grow:
| Year | Projected Annual Dividend | Cumulative Growth |
|---|
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) measures the average annual growth rate of dividends over a specific time period, accounting for compounding.
Formula: CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1 / Number of Years) - 1
For example, if a dividend grows from $2.00 to $3.50 over 10 years, the CAGR is 5.75% per year.
1. Find Historical Data: Look up the company's dividend history on their investor relations page or financial sites like Yahoo Finance
2. Enter Starting Point: Choose a year in the past and enter the annual dividend per share for that year
3. Enter Ending Point: Use the most recent year and current annual dividend
4. Analyze: The calculator shows the average growth rate and can project future dividends (assuming the same growth continues)
• Past dividend growth does NOT guarantee future growth
• Companies can cut or eliminate dividends at any time
• Use CAGR as one factor among many in your research
• Projections assume constant growth rate (rarely happens in reality)
