XOM's 4% dividend bump reflects their disciplined aproach to capital allocation, which has kept them a dividend aristocrat. The consistency here matters more than the size, especially when you compare it to the sector volatility over the past few years. While some energy companies went aggressive with buybacks during high oil prices, Exxon's steady dividend policy looks smarter for long term income investors. That track record of modest, predictable growth is exactly what dividend portfolios need.
