  • Fortune Brands Innovations to Raise Dividend to $0.26, Yielding 1.9%
    January 30, 2026, 6:47 AM EST. Fortune Brands Innovations (NYSE:FBIN) will increase its dividend to $0.26 on March 11, lifting the yield to 1.9%. The payment remains covered by cash flow and earnings, suggesting sustainability with a forecasted payout ratio near 20%. Despite a solid dividend history, the company cut payments once in the past decade and has seen a 5.2% annual decline in earnings per share (EPS) over five years. EPS is expected to nearly double over the next year, but caution remains due to past volatility. While cash generation supports the dividend, investors may seek more consistent income options. Analysts recommend weighing three risk factors and exploring alternative top dividend stocks.
