Snap-on raises dividend 12.7%, largest dollar increase ever, marking 17 years of consecutive hikes.

Snap-on increased its quarterly dividend by 12.7% to $2.75 per share, the largest dollar raise in its history, continuing a 17-year streak of dividend increases. This raise came despite a challenging quarter with missed earnings and a 7% drop in Tools Group sales due to high diesel prices. The payout now consumes about 57% of earnings and free cash flow, reflecting strong cash generation. Future dividend growth depends on recovery in Tools Group sales and credit risk management amid rising franchisee delinquencies.
