Dividend Stocks eBay, McDonald's, and Constellation Brands Show Resilience

eBay, McDonald's, and Constellation Brands are three companies that have continued to increase their dividends despite economic challenges.

eBay has grown its dividend at a 12% annual rate over the past five years, while McDonald's has increased its dividend by 7% annually during the same period. Constellation Brands, which distributes Corona and other imported beers in the U.S., has grown its dividend at a 6% annual rate.

eBay shares have risen 19% over the past year, with revenue growing 15% year-over-year in the second quarter. The company's acquisition of Depop, a popular fashion marketplace, is expected to expand its reach to Gen Z and Millennials. eBay offers a modest forward yield of 1.2%.

McDonald's has faced negative sentiment after a sluggish stretch for comparable-store sales, but it still generates strong free cash flow that supports continued dividend growth. The company's franchise-heavy model drives high profitability, with adjusted operating margin reaching nearly 47% through the first half of 2026.
