Here's What's New In The World Of Investing...

The St. Joe Company ($JOE) Raises Dividend By 14.3%

“Buy land, they're not making it anymore.”

The St. Joe Company is a “land bank” that owns 167,000 acres in Florida. Much of this property is undeveloped, with the majority of St. Joe’s revenue coming from less than 2% of its real estate.

Slowly but steadily, St. Joe is developing its land into shopping centers, resorts, and housing complexes.

This strategy must be paying off because St. Joe recently raised its dividend by 14.3%.

The St. Joe Company will now pay a $0.16/share quarterly dividend.

• Ex-dividend date: 11/13/25

• Payout date: 12/12/25

• Forward starting dividend yield: 1.17%

NewMarket Corporation ($NEU) Raises Dividend By 9%

When a company raises its dividend twice in one year, I pay attention.

NewMarket Corporation has issued not one, but two inflation-beating dividend raises this year. Back in February, the company hiked its payout by 10%. And last Friday, the firm announced a 9% dividend increase.

This is a business many investors are unaware of. But, NewMarket is a well-established company that makes and sells petroleum additives. Some of NewMarket’s products include: gear oil for cars and trucks, antiknock compounds for aviation, and perchlorate for missiles and space shuttles.

The company dates all the way back to 1887, and NewMarket Corporation has paid a dividend every year since 2006.

NewMarket Corporation will now pay a $3.00/share quarterly dividend.

• Ex-dividend date: 12/15/25

• Payout date: 1/2/25

• Forward starting dividend yield: 1.6%

Exxon Mobil Corporation ($XOM) Raises Dividend By 4.2%

Did you know that Exxon Mobil Corporation has a larger market cap than McDonald’s and Disney combined? This is one of those mega-cap blue chips that gets very little investor attention despite delivering over a century of consistent dividend payments.

Exxon Mobil Corporation is a direct descendant of the original Standard Oil Company. An investor could have bought Standard Oil stock in the 1800’s and their great-grandchildren would still be collecting dividend checks via Exxon Mobil.

Last week, Exxon Mobil Corporation announced its latest dividend raise, a 4.2% increase over the previous payout.

Exxon Mobil Corporation will now pay a $1.03/share quarterly dividend.

• Ex-dividend date: 11/14/25

• Payout date: 12/10/25

• Forward starting dividend yield: 3.39%
