What the record shows
MSI has paid its quarterly dividends since 1970, with 217 distributions across its dividend payment history.
Over the past year, MSI made four payments totaling $4.84 per share, equal to a 1.09% trailing yield. The average across the two most recent payments was $1.21 per share, exactly matching the average for the preceding period. The latest distribution was unchanged from its immediate predecessor. The near-term dividend pattern is therefore flat.
Annual dividend totals rose in each of the last six full years, with yearly gains ranging from 11% to 11.9%. That uninterrupted sequence is part of a 15-year streak in annual dividend growth. MSI's most recent annual cut occurred in 2001, before the current growth streak, and 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.
