Indeed, Microsoft continues to stand out among many of its competitors, having now increased its dividend for 24 consecutive years, with 2025 alone reflecting a cumulative 10.39% annual increase.
Further, with a forward payout ratio of 22.61%, Microsoft maintains significant room for future distributions, backed by robust cash flows from its cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) segments.
All in all, Microsoft’s upcoming dividend is once again set to reinforce the conglomerate’s position as one of the most reliable income generators in the sector.
