Weekly Dividends Update
1:29
Published on: Jan 12, 2026 2:12:03 PM

It’s a new week, and the dividend update for this week includes passive income opportunities from Dividend Aristocrats preparing to pay cash dividends.

Dividend Aristocrats are companies in the S&P 500 that have increased their dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years.

Some of the Aristocrats featured in this week’s update include:

  • Caterpillar - has paid dividends every year since its formation, maintained quarterly payments since 1933, and achieved 32 consecutive years of dividend growth.
  • Abbott - a standout example of consistency, with a 6.8% dividend increase marking its 54th consecutive year of growth. 
  • AbbVie - although independent since 2013, it qualifies as a Dividend Aristocrat through its linked dividend history with Abbott, meeting the 25-year growth requirement and delivering over 300% dividend growth since inception.

Fresh payouts:

Dell Technologies began paying dividends in 2022 and has since delivered annual increases, most recently raising its annual dividend by 18%.

Exchange Traded Fund Dividends:

ETF dividend season is upon us, with several exchange-traded funds from ETFSA, 27four, Reitway, Sygnia, and TBI Global preparing to pay dividends, offering investors an opportunity to diversify their income portfolios.
