What the record shows
LYG, a Financial Services stock, has paid dividends since 2002, with 37 payments across its history. Its payment frequency is quarterly.
Over the past year, LYG made two payments totaling $0.218 per share, with a trailing yield of 4.36%. Its latest payment was cut 37.3% from the previous payment. Even with that reduction, the recent average payment was 28.2% above the prior average.
Annual average per payment rose in each of the last four years, from $0.0345 to $0.085 per share. Payment counts in those calendar years differed from the usual frequency because ex-dates fell into a neighboring calendar year, rather than because the rate changed. LYG now has a four-year growth streak, its last annual cut occurred in 2021, and its dividend safety grade is C.

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.
