Key Metrics
Current Yield
1.37%
The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.Annualized Dividend
$6.4000
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
Q Quarterly
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
49.7
Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
34
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$389.38 – $546.64
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
40.75%
The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.Years Paying

Dividend Growth
3-Yr Growth (CAGR)8.6%The dividend's average annual growth rate over the period, compounded. Steady growth signals a healthy, rising payout.

Consecutive Increases33 yrsThe number of years in a row the dividend has increased — a track record of reliability.
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
LIN's dividend yield rose from 1.24% to 1.37% over the past ~90 days (+0.14 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.14 pp from the share price ($518.17 → $466.22). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
