What the record shows
What the record shows: ETN has paid 216 quarterly dividends since 1972, extending its payment history across multiple decades.
Over the last 12 months, four payments totaled $4.34 per share, equivalent to a 0.99% trailing yield. The recent payment average was 2.8% above the prior average, indicating a higher near-term payment level. The latest payment held level with the preceding payment, so the increase in the recent average did not extend into another sequential rise.
Annual totals entered a five-year dividend growth streak after the last annual cut in 2020, when the total fell 20.3%. Growth decelerated at first, then accelerated in the latest two full years. The latest full-year total was $4.16 per share, and its increase returned to double digits. ETN’s dividend safety grade is B.

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.
