On Wednesday, November 5th, Emerson Electric Co. (EMR) announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend increase from $0.5275 to $0.555 per share. The dividend is payable on December 10, 2025, to shareholders of record as of November 14, 2025. This marks a 5.21% increase over the previous quarterly dividend.
At the current price of $130.62 (today's open), this increase will raise EMR's dividend yield to 1.67%.
Emerson Electric is a Dividend Champions with a 68 year streak of dividend increases. Dividend growth rates for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years are 0.8, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.8 (Dividend Champions.xls)
As an owner of 60 shares of Emerson Electric, the recent dividend increase adds $4.92 to my projected annual net dividend income.
I had anticipated the same modest upward trend that has persisted for quite some time to continue. Therefore, the announced increase came as a very pleasant surprise — it will be interesting to see whether this positive momentum carries forward in the future.
This marks the ninth dividend increase I’ve received from Emerson Electric since initiating my position in July 2015. During that time, the company’s quarterly dividend has grown disappointingly from $0.47 to $0.555 per share — representing a cumulative increase of 18.1%.
As of this writing, Emerson represents approximately 0.89% of my portfolio by weight and contributes around 0.35% to my projected annual dividend income.
Following this increase, my yield on cost is 4.15%.
