Devon Energy increased its quarterly fixed dividend by 33% to $0.32 per share in 2026 following the completion of its acquisition of Coterra, a move the board views as sustainable. The company also has a history of paying a variable dividend tied to financial results, which can boost income when oil prices are high but may shrink or disappear when prices fall, giving the stock a 2.4% yield. In contrast, ExxonMobil has raised its dividend annually for 43 consecutive years, most recently by 4%, and offers a 2.7% yield, with its integrated business model and strong balance sheet providing consistency through energy price cycles.
