WST Dividend Growth Rate
On this page we examine the WST 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 WST dividend growth tables
by year are listed below, and overall, the 1996 to 2023 simple average WST dividend growth rate = 6.90%,
with the worst WST dividend growth rate over that time being -21.05% and the best WST dividend growth rate being 40.00%, 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.
