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

51 of 57 guidance figures that were graded or dropped for basis could not be graded on the same basis (89%). Guidance marked “not judged” is in neither number.

Guidance typeSaidGradedDroppedOther
Revenue · GAAP2200
Revenue · non-GAAPcannot be graded4002713
Revenue · basis not stated2200
EPS · GAAP2200
EPS · non-GAAPcannot be graded4302419

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 Other covers open, superseded, withdrawn and otherwise unresolved figures.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.
