B Dividend Growth Rate
On this page we examine the B dividend growth over time, by tabulating the total dividend ex-dates that fall
into each calendar year, and then comparing the year over year totals through time. Each of the B dividend growth tables
by year are listed below, and overall, the 1996 to 2023 simple average B dividend growth rate = 3.33%,
with the worst B dividend growth rate over that time being -33.33% and the best B dividend growth rate being 17.65%, as detailed below. Note: because
the method used is to tally all ex-dates within each calendar year, our calculations will also include any "special" dividends that may fall into that year; investors
should note that this will produce a different result than if only comparing "regular" dividend growth rate during those periods.
