Dividend Kings underperformed SPY in 2025, up 4.47% vs. SPY's 17.7%, but select Kings outperformed the index. Twenty-two Dividend Kings are identified as both potentially undervalued and offering long-term expected annualized returns of at least 10%. Dividend growth for the Kings remains subdued at 5.81% for 2025, trailing the 2024 rate of 6.32%.

Chevron (CVX) is expected to extend its dividend growth streak to 39 years, but with a muted 3–4% increase amid lower oil prices. CVX's earnings remain under pressure from declining oil prices despite cost-saving initiatives and the Hess acquisition, leading to subdued dividend growth. Dividend increases in January will generally be modest, with select companies like Fastenal, S&P Global, and Cincinnati Financial likely to deliver higher single-digit boosts.
