McDonald's Boosts Dividend for 50th Year in a Row

McDonald's has increased its quarterly dividend by 4% to $1.93 per share, marking the company's 50th consecutive year of dividend growth.

This achievement positions McDonald's among the 'Dividend Kings,' a group of fewer than 60 US public companies that have raised their annual dividend for at least 50 years.

The new quarterly dividend is payable on December 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2026. The increased payout equates to $7.72 annually.

'This milestone is the result of decades-long commitment to maintaining our financial discipline and rewarding our shareholders,' said Ian Borden, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Financial Officer.
