KO gained 7.8% and raised its quarterly dividend during the rate spike; PG's stock fell 4.42% while its payout still climbed.
JNJ raised its quarterly dividend every April from $1.13 to $1.34, backed by nearly $21 billion in projected free cash flow.

Just released. Our **** ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now, and Johnson & Johnson didn't make the cut. Enter your email to see the names that beat JNJ. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.
Rising rates create a specific, mechanical problem for dividend stocks: when risk-free yields climb, a payout has to fight bonds for the same investor dollar, and share prices of income names often slide even when the underlying business is fine.

Against that competition, three US-listed Dividend Kings kept declaring higher payouts through every quarterly cycle from 2022 forward. Their dividend records tell the real story here.
