NSC Dividend Growth Rate
On this page we examine the NSC 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 NSC dividend growth tables
by year are listed below, and overall, the 1996 to 2023 simple average NSC dividend growth rate = 10.35%,
with the worst NSC dividend growth rate over that time being -70.00% and the best NSC dividend growth rate being 41.67%, 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.
