1. Dividend growth -Walmart reminded investors of its strong balance sheet and cash flow late last month when it announced its latest dividend increase. The company said it was increasing its quarterly dividend by 2% to $0.57, or $2.28 annually.2. A low payout ratio. It's also worth noting that Walmart is only paying out about half of its earnings in dividends. Specifically, the grocer has a payout ratio of 52%. A payout ratio this conservative means the company has plenty of room to increase its dividend in the future. 3. A durable business - The best part of Walmart's dividend, however, is the durability of its underlying business. Walmart was founded in 1962 and continues to grow its top line at meaningful rates even today.
