Dividend Hikes from JPMorgan, McDonald's, and VICI Properties Amid Share Price Weakness

Three well-established companies in the banking, restaurant, and hotel casino industries have announced increases to their dividend payouts. These companies include JPMorgan Chase & Co., McDonald's, and VICI Properties.

JPMorgan Chase has seen its share price moderate after a strong year in 2025, but it is still increasing its dividend by 10%. The payout will rise to $1.65 per share, with the next dividend having a record date of October 6 and a payable date of October 31.

McDonald's has had a difficult run so far in 2026, with shares down around 20% year-to-date. However, it is still increasing its dividend by 3.8%, which will push its forward yield to approximately 3.3%. The company's payout ratio sits near 60%, but this is manageable for REITs.

VICI Properties has also seen its share price slide lately, with a total return of near -10% in 2026. Despite this, it is increasing its quarterly dividend by 2.2% to 46 cents per share. The company's payout ratio sits above 70%, but this is typical for REITs.

All three companies have solid dividend sustainability and have shown their willingness to return more capital to shareholders. VICI Properties in particular has a high forward yield of around 7.7%.
