Apple is expected to announce its 14th consecutive annual dividend increase in late April, with a likely raise in the mid-single digit percentage range. The company's strong earnings growth is supported by robust sales and aggressive share buybacks, but significant investments in research and development, especially in AI, limit the dividend growth pace. The anticipated dividend increase of 4.8–7.7% would result in a forward yield of 0.40–0.41%, as Apple prioritizes cash flow for buybacks and R&D. Other dividend growth companies announcing increases in late April are also expected to deliver modest raises, with only a few like Parker-Hannifin and Grainger potentially exceeding 10%.
