Generally speaking CSL dividends are a reasonable measure of how well the company is tracking. These are the facts
During the
past 10 years, the average Dividends Per Share
Growth Rate was
11.90% per year. During the
past 13 years, the
highest 3-Year average Dividends Per Share Growth Rate of
CSL was
42.20% per year. The
lowest was
6.60% per year. And the
median was
15.50% per year.
These figures are a bit out of date ,ie june 2024, but the best I can find.
https://www.gurufocus.com/term/dividend-growth-5y/ASX:CSLI am betting on continuing growth and that's why I am now accumulating and I see little short term rationality to the market when CBA has a PE near to CSL.
Excluding the Trump factor, this seems to be the best time to buy for quite a while.
