🇪🇺 European Dividend Eagles 🦅 | January-February 2026 Edition
Time to cross the Atlantic again.
Every week, we dive deep into America’s most consistent dividend machines — but Europe deserves just as much attention. This region is packed with companies that treat dividends as a long-term promise, not a marketing slogan.
These are the European Dividend Eagles — businesses that have increased their payouts for 15+ years straight, surviving recessions, inflation spikes, political shifts, and everything in between. No drama. No excuses. Just steady, rising dividends.
👉 Here’s what makes them special:
Double-digit dividend growth:
Over the past decade, these companies have raised payouts by around 12% a year on average. That’s real, dependable income growth — year after year.
Conservative payout ratios:
Most pay out about 40% of their profits, keeping more than half of their earnings to reinvest and fuel the next round of dividend increases.
Strong yields today:
Plenty of names already offer 5%, 6%, even 7% yields — real cash hitting your account while the business keeps compounding in the background.
Built-in diversification:
You’re spread across 23 industries — from healthcare and industrials to utilities, consumer staples, chemicals, and insurance. Broad exposure. Lower risk.
This isn’t luck — it’s pedigree. Europe’s Eagles are built on fortress balance sheets, conservative management, disciplined capital allocation, and a culture that rewards long-term shareholders. And just like our U.S. Eagles, this list is alive.
