Good morning and happy Monday!

We’re kicking things off with some big news. Two stocks are raising their payouts, and one of these raises is a 50% increase.

Additionally, a high-yield food staple is announcing its upcoming distribution.

Let’s start with the biggest dividend raise first…

The Walt Disney Company ($DIS) Raises Dividend By 50%

Theme parks, movies, streaming services, broadcast television…

The Walt Disney Company does it all. This is one of the most iconic and recognizable names in media and entertainment.

Disney creates entertainment content and builds, or buys recognizable intellectual properties, then monetizes these through its theme parks, movies, and licensing deals. A strategy that’s helping the business escape its multiyear slump, as evident by the company’s recent 50% dividend raise.

The Walt Disney Company will now pay a $0.75/share semi-annual dividend.

  • Ex-dividend date: 12/15/25

  • Payout date: 1/15/26

  • Forward starting dividend yield: 1.39%

Spire Inc. ($SR) Raises Dividend By 5.1%

Spire Inc. is a natural gas utility company that serves 1.7 million homes and businesses throughout Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri.

The company flies under many investors’ radars despite consistently offering a relatively high starting yield as well as strong dividend growth. Case in point, Spire recently announced a 5.1% dividend increase, marking the company’s 23rd consecutive year of raising payouts.

Spire Inc. will now pay a $0.825/share quarterly dividend.

  • Ex-dividend date: 12/11/25

  • Payout date: 1/5/26
