Analysis reports

Largest dividends paid

Companies ranked mechanically by latest annual dividends paid from SEC companyfacts.

Descriptive ranking — not investment advice. Mechanical ranking by stated metric from SEC/FRED data; not a recommendation, endorsement, or investment judgment. As of: 2026-08-04. See Disclaimer.

• Ranked companies can have different latest fiscal-year ends, which affects temporal comparability.
• Period-end comparability: ranked values span fiscal period-ends from 2025-07-26 to 2026-06-30 (a 11-month spread), so the ranking compares companies over different reporting periods; row-level offsets are shown relative to modal period end 2025-12-31.
• This ranking spans companies in different accounting regimes (financial-sector and operating companies); financial-sector figures such as revenue and margins are defined differently and may not be directly comparable across regimes.
• Free cash flow and cash-return lines differ by industry and capital intensity, so cross-industry comparisons are mechanical.
