39, 54, and 54 Consecutive Years of Dividend Growth
Only a handful of companies in the market have increased their dividends every year for decades. Not just maintained them—but raised them consistently. The Road to $1M strategy includes three such companies.
Chevron has increased its dividend for 39 consecutive years and has been paying shareholders since 1912. Through wars, oil market crashes, and the pandemic—not a single missed payment. Its dividend yield is approximately 4%, with $1.78 per share each quarter, or $7.12 annually. Over the past year, the stock itself has gained approximately 28%, giving investors both capital appreciation and regular dividend payments.
PepsiCo has achieved 54 consecutive years of dividend increases, earning its status as a Dividend King. Pepsi, Lay's, Gatorade, and Lipton are all part of the same company. The dividend yield is around 4%, with $1.48 per share each quarter. For new investors, its greatest advantage is familiarity. This is not an unfamiliar business—it is a company whose products you have known for years. And that is the point: turning a familiar, understandable business into a source of income.
PPG also boasts 54 consecutive years of dividend growth. You see the results of its work every day, even if you have never heard its name: the paint on your home's walls, the coating on your car, and the protective finishes used on aircraft. Its dividend yield is approximately 2.5%, paying $0.71 per share each quarter, or $2.84 annually.
Companies like these form the foundation of a long-term portfolio. They may not be the most exciting stocks, but they have demonstrated reliability for decades. They are the cornerstone of compound growth—the quiet mechanism that transforms regular investing into long-term financial strength. The next dividend payments for all three companies are scheduled for this autumn, following their regular quarterly payment cycle.
Compound growth values one thing above all else: time.
