Gilead Sciences Has Raised Its Dividend for 11 Straight Years. Here's Why the Streak Looks Safe.

Gilead Sciences increased its quarterly dividend by 3.8% to $0.82, marking the 11th consecutive year of dividend increases. The company's strong HIV franchise generated 18% higher sales year-over-year, while its oncology expansion shows promise with Trodelvy reporting 42% sales growth. With a low payout ratio of 29.8%, Gilead has ample room to sustain dividend growth and fund $32 billion in research projects through 2030.
