The dividend growth rate measures how quickly a company increases its dividend payments over time. Consistent dividend growth is a sign of financial health and management confidence.
DGR = (Latest Dividend / Earliest Dividend)^(1/years) - 1
If a company's dividend grew from $1.00 to $1.60 over 5 years: DGR = ($1.60/$1.00)^(1/5) - 1 = 9.86% annual growth.
