What the record shows

EMR has paid a quarterly dividend since 1972, giving the Industrials stock a long-running and regular payment history. Over the last 12 months, four payments totaled $2.22 per share and produced a trailing yield of 1.41%. The latest payment was $0.555 per share, unchanged from the previous payment. The recent payment level has remained flat, with the latest two payments averaging the same amount as the prior two.

Annual dividends rose in every full year from 2020 through 2025, moving from $2.005 per share to $2.139 per share. Each year included four quarterly payments, so the higher totals coincided with increases in the average payment rather than differences in payment count. EMR has delivered 53 consecutive years of dividend growth, with no annual cut. Its dividend safety grade is A.

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.
