"What's a quarter-century of dividend investing experience worth? It's been worth quite a lot, actually, and today I'd like to show you just how profitable a long-term dividend reinvestment plan can be. With the 25-year results of three stock picks, I'll prove to you that dividend investing can definitely work. More specifically, I'll provide a list of three dividend growers that have consistently increased their cash distributions for at least half a century."
"For example, McDonald's will increase its per-share quarterly dividend payment from $1.77 on September 16, 2025, to $1.86 on December 15. That represents growth of 5%, and it's not too late to buy MCD stock shares in order to receive the December dividend. If you're still skeptical, I'll use a dividend reinvestment compounding calculator to show you the potential long-term results."
Long-term dividend reinvestment in established dividend-growth companies can produce substantial wealth through compounding. Three stock picks with 25-year results illustrate how consistent dividend reinvestment amplifies returns. Each chosen company has raised cash distributions for at least 50 consecutive years, demonstrating durable payout growth. McDonald's is highlighted with a forward annual dividend yield of 2.42%, quarterly cash payments, and a 50-year dividend growth streak. McDonald's will raise its per-share quarterly dividend from $1.77 on September 16, 2025, to $1.86 on December 15, a 5% increase. A hypothetical $10,000 purchase on January 3, 2000, with consistent reinvestment illustrates long-term compounding potential.
