Predict Dividend Raises Before They're Announced? Here's How

May 22, 2025

By the time a company tells you it's increasing its dividend, the stock has usually moved.

Income investors cheer, analysts update models, and you? You’re chasing.

But what if you could see it coming?

Not hope. Not guess.

Predict.

ChatGPT Just Gave Us a Clear Read on This Company’s Next Dividend Move

We ran our dividend forecasting model—powered by ChatGPT—on a stock we’ve had on our radar: Texas Instruments ($TXN).

Here’s part of what it told us:

“Free cash flow remains robust, despite modest topline growth. The payout ratio dropped from 65% to 58% over the last two quarters, giving the company room to raise distributions without altering its CapEx strategy or balance sheet leverage.

Based on prior cadence, expect a 5–7% dividend increase within the next two quarters.

Red flag? None—management has consistently raised dividends for 19 consecutive years and still has runway.”

No hype. Just cash flow, discipline, and probability.

And two quarters later?

They raised. Right on cue.

What Most Dividend Investors Miss

Most income portfolios are built backward: chase yield, hope the payout continues.

But the forward-looking investor does it differently:

  • Looks at payout capacity, not yield

  • Measures cash flow health, not headlines

  • And uses AI to read between the lines—before the Street catches up
