Scores describe this security's published financial data on a 0–100 scale using the formulas on our methodology pages. They are the same for every reader, are not a probability or a forecast, and are not a recommendation. Past dividend growth does not guarantee future increases. Report a data error.

LEG has raised its annual dividend in 37 separate years since February 1985, which ranks 71 among the 2,430 payers with a comparable record in our dataset. In 3 years the annual total fell by more than a fifth.

Of the 310 companies we track with 25 or more years of increases, 173 — 56 per cent — also have at least one year in which the dividend fell by more than 20 per cent. Across every company with twenty years of comparable history, only 277 of 1078 (26 per cent) have never cut. A long record of increases is common; a record with no cut anywhere in it is not.

Measured from annual totals using split-adjusted amounts, comparing only consecutive years with the same number of payments — a stock split and a payment shifting across a year boundary both look like cuts otherwise. The current year is excluded as incomplete. How we measure a cut, and what the corrections change. Figures are for information only, not a view on any security.

LEG's dividend yield rose from 2.00% to 2.17% over the past ~90 days (+0.18 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.18 pp from the share price ($10.01 on Aug 03, 2026 → $9.20 on Oct 30, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.

Across 232 daily observations over the past 11 months (through Aug 27, 2026), LEG's current yield is higher than approximately 83% of them. Our stored price history for LEG covers the past 11 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
