Tuesday's Featured Article 3 Dividend Stocks Raising Payouts in 2025 — With More to ComeWritten by Leo Miller. Published 9/16/2025. 
Key Points - Verizon's +6% yield just got another shot in the arm, with the company announcing a measured dividend increase.
- Johnson Controls is growing its footprint in data center cooling and just announced a solid dividend boost.
- Artificial intelligence chip giant Broadcom is due for a dividend increase. How high might the stock's yield go?
Two blue-chip names—Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) and Johnson Controls International (NYSE: JCI)—have recently boosted their dividends. A third, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), a key artificial intelligence chip supplier, is likely to follow suit by year's end. Below, we review these three stocks and the yields investors can anticipate. Verizon Raises Its Generous Dividend Again Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) has enjoyed a solid 2025, with a total return of about 15.5%. That outpaces the S&P 500's roughly 12.8% gain, though it trails AT&T's 34.2% and surpasses T-Mobile US's 10.6%. Axcelis Technologies went from $2.50 to $180—a staggering 7,100% return.

Revenue growth has been flat to 2% over the past four quarters, but low expectations and a hefty dividend have kept the stock ticking higher. On Sept. 5, Verizon declared a quarterly dividend of $0.69, up 1.8% from the prior payout. Payable on Nov. 3 to shareholders of record as of Oct. 10, this raises Verizon's indicated yield to nearly 6.3%, ranking it among the top 10 yields in the S&P 500 and the highest in the communications sector. Looking ahead, Verizon aims to stabilize its retail postpaid phone segment, which has lost over 400,000 subscribers in 2025, while its broadband unit continues to grow, adding more than 600,000 customers. Johnson Controls Hikes Dividend 8% Amid Strong Share Gains Johnson Controls International (NYSE: JCI) has outperformed the market, delivering a total return exceeding 37% in 2025. A key growth driver is its data center segment, now accounting for over 10% of sales. Johnson Controls supplies large-scale thermal management systems—industrial-grade cooling solutions—to data centers, complementing rack-level cooling technologies. On Sept. 10, the company announced a dividend of $0.40 per share, an 8.1% increase over the prior quarter. Payable on Oct. 17 to holders of record as of Sept. 22, this equates to an indicated yield of about 1.5%, compared with the S&P 500's roughly 1.1%. Broadcom Likely to Announce Another Dividend Hike in December Investors should anticipate a dividend boost from semiconductor powerhouse Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) by year-end. The quarterly payout has been $0.59 for the past four periods, and since 2021, Broadcom hasn't gone more than four quarters without raising its dividend. Broadcom's fundamentals remain robust: its last-12-month free cash flow reached nearly $25 billion last quarter. That cash generation points to a December 2025 dividend increase. But how large might the hike be? Since September 2021, the dividend has grown from $0.36 to $0.59, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 13%. The most recent increase was 11%. With strong free cash flow, Broadcom could target a similar or higher percentage. At a 13% bump, the payout would rise to about $0.67 per share, implying an indicated yield near 0.75% based on Sept. 12 closing prices. While modest, that yield would surpass those of every Magnificent Seven stock. VZ, JCI and AVGO: Dividend Hikes Today and Tomorrow Verizon and Johnson Controls have already rewarded their shareholders with larger payouts. For Broadcom investors, another dividend lift likely looms in December—an added bonus to the stock's impressive 2025 performance.
