McDonald's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.93 per share, a 4% increase over the previous quarterly payout, marking the company's 50th consecutive year of dividend increases. The dividend is payable on December 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2026, and the new quarterly dividend of $1.93 per share is equivalent to $7.72 annually. With this increase, McDonald's joins the ranks of the "Dividend Kings," an elite group of fewer than 60 U.S. public companies that have raised their annual dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. Executive Vice President and Global Chief Financial Officer Ian Borden said the milestone reflects a decades-long commitment to financial discipline and rewarding shareholders, as well as the work of crew members, owner-operators and suppliers. The company said it will provide further details on its next phase of growth at its 2026 Investor Day on September 23, 2026.
