Global Dividend Growth Likely to be Boosted by Dollar Weakness, Nvidia
Dow Jones
Yesterday
0255 GMT - A weaker dollar and Nvidia's larger payout could bolster global dividend growth this year, says Capital Group in a report. Companies tracked by Capital Group paid a record $827.3 billion in 2Q dividends, up 7.9% from a year earlier, it says, adding that Nvidia's larger payout earlier this year could add around $18 billion to the global total, lifting annual dividend growth by nearly one percentage point. Larger one-off dividends and foreign-exchange effects prompt Capital Group to raise its 2026 global dividend projection to $2.23 trillion--representing a 6.4% gain on year from $2.20 trillion. Its quarterly report tracks the world's largest 1,600 companies, representing around 85% of global market capitalization as of end-December.
