The share of earnings paid out as dividends over the trailing twelve months (TTM): dividends paid divided by net income across the company's four most recent reported quarters, dated by the latest quarter end. A fiscal-year tag such as FY2025 means only annual figures were available. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earned. It shows n/a for funds and when net income over the period was negative; for REITs and BDCs it is marked EPS-based, since they are judged on FFO/AFFO or net investment income instead.Years Paying

Quote & Key Data
Dividend Growth
How often a record like this ends in a cut
QSR has raised its annual dividend in 10 separate years since February 2015, which ranks 1096 among the 2,430 payers with a comparable record in our dataset. No year in that span saw the annual total fall by more than a fifth.
Of the 878 companies we track with 10 to 24 years of increases, 661 — 75 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.
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
QSR's dividend yield fell from 3.56% to 3.56% over the past ~90 days (-0.00 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and -0.00 pp from the share price ($72.94 on Aug 03, 2026 → $73.01 on Oct 30, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
Yield vs Its Own History
Across 272 daily observations over the past 13 months (through Oct 23, 2026), QSR's current yield is higher than approximately 55% of them. Our stored price history for QSR covers the past 13 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
