For a company to have growing dividends by our standards, the annual dividend amount must have increased steadily for at least the last 5 years.
The company's dividend yield is compared to the industry average to determine its positioning.
Imagine you have a list of dividend yields for different companies in an industry. If you look for the "top 25% percentile", you will find a number. This number tells you that the top 25% of the companies with the highest dividends have a yield higher than that number. On the other hand, the "top 75% percentile" shows you another number, which tells you that 75% of the companies have a higher yield than that number, thus showing a more common and less high yield.
For a company to have stable dividends by our standards, it is vital that it has not had an annual decline of more than 10% over the previous year.
