Notes
- >This year: each company’s interim plus final dividend per share for the financial year whose final was declared in 2026, against its previous financial year, biggest raise first. From the NSE dividend feed, refreshed daily; special dividends are left out, and a company with no previous year in the feed is not ranked.
- >Over 3 years: ranked by 3-year dividend per share growth, highest first, across every NSE-listed company in the financials feed. Ties go to the better-covered dividend.
- >Only ranked when the company paid a dividend in each of its last 3 financial years and 3 years before its latest, its latest year is no more than a year behind the market, and that year’s earnings per share covered the dividend. This keeps one-off special dividends and payouts larger than profit off the list.
- >Cover is EPS over DPS: 2.0x means earnings paid for the dividend twice over. 3Y growth is the compound annual change in DPS over 3 financial years.
- >Amounts are per share in the listing currency; BK Group (BKG) reports in RWF and Umeme (UMME) in UGX. Changes are rates, so they compare across currencies.
- >A ranking of published figures, not a recommendation to buy. Past dividends do not guarantee future ones.
