Dividend record — shown as history, not graded

A declared dividend is a reported fact, not a promise we grade. Here's the record — raises, holds, and cuts — each linked to its source filing.

Guidance by basis

11 of 15 guidance figures that were graded or dropped for basis could not be graded on the same basis (73%). Guidance marked “not judged” is in neither number.

Guidance typeSaidGradedDroppedOther
EPS · GAAP7403
EPS · non-GAAPcannot be graded8035
EPS · basis not statedcannot be graded310823

Said counts every revenue and EPS guidance figure on record. Dropped counts figures whose period was reported but which have no comparable GAAP actual in SEC XBRL. Other covers open, superseded, withdrawn and otherwise unresolved figures. The coverage note below counts every figure shown but not graded, including figures whose period has not been reported, so it can be larger.
