Dividend hikes and cuts for Week 22, 2025
Only One Winner in a Dull Week for Dividend Growth
In Week 22 of 2025 (May 26–30), we saw just six dividend increases — a striking slowdown. For us, a quieter week is always a welcome breather, but let’s be honest: it was a remarkably uneventful week for dividend investors. The only standout was Lowe’s LOW 0.00%↑ , which extended its impressive track record by raising its dividend for the 64th consecutive year — a true Dividend King in action.
Other notable names this week include EOG Resources EOG 0.00%↑ — a former member of our Dividend Hike Portfolio — and Hamilton Lane, which has now raised its dividend at a double-digit pace for eight consecutive years.
Hamilton Lane HLNE 0.00%↑ , a leading private markets investment management firm, is rapidly positioning itself as a future Dividend Hero. To earn that title, however, it will need to hit 10 straight years of double-digit dividend growth — it's close, but not there yet.
Hamilton Lane also delivered the biggest dividend hike this week: +10.2%. At Dividend Hike, we focus on the trajectory of dividend growth, not just the size — and in that regard, Hamilton Lane stands out as the only stock this week to post a larger increase than last year. All others are showing signs of slowing growth — including Lowe’s (more on that below).
Below you’ll find all dividend increases from Week 22, including current yield, track record, 5 year CAGR for the dividend, YTD performance, and weekly price return.
Runner-up this week was Flanigan's Enterprises Inc. BDL 0.00%↑ , which announced a clean 10% dividend hike. This company, known for its chain of restaurants and liquor stores in Florida, pays a dividend just once per year, making its annual raise especially noteworthy.
On the downside, we also had a dividend cut, this time from Global Medical REIT GMRE 0.00%↑ — a clear warning signal for income-focused investors.
The table below ranks the companies by market cap — starting with Lowe’s at the top and ending with the small caps: CSBB , LYBC , GMRE 0.00%↑ , and BDL 0.00%↑ .
