The last few years have been pretty poor dividend wise. 2023 estimates suggest that, generally, dividends are below 2017 levels. Of course, some companies have managed to increase their dividend throughout this period but many "rebased" their dividend at a lower level.

The dividend recovery appears to be stalling!

The graph relates to UK companies but I would hazard a guess it applies wherever one had invested geographically. It would be interesting to see a report on dividends in other regions.

And threre's not a lot one can do about it, since the winners and losers will be largely unpredictable. Of course, "experts" will try to predict, but I suspect it'll be down to luck for us individuals.
