What the record shows
BMY’s quarterly dividend record extends back to 1972. As a Healthcare stock, BMY paid four dividends over the past year, totaling $2.51 per share and producing a 3.93% trailing yield. The latest payment was unchanged, while the recent average increased 0.8% from the prior average.
Annual dividends rose in every year from 2022 through 2025, increasing from $2.16 to $2.48 per share. Growth slowed each year thereafter, ending at 3.3%.
The lower 2021 total reflected ex-dates falling into a neighbouring year rather than a rate cut; average per payment rose from $0.458 in 2020 to $0.49. That lower total followed a year with more payments than usual and coincided with fewer than usual. BMY has an 18-year annual dividend growth streak, no annual cut, and an A dividend safety grade.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
