"Dividend Growth" for AAPL, ABBV, and others are incorrect

Some of the dividend growth numbers on the dividend pages are incorrect. For example, AAPL has been increasing dividends for the past 10 years, not "8 Years" as shown in the summary. Your own 10Y growth chart in the dividend growth tab even shows this! I also checked ABBV (also incorrect), ABR (also incorrect), and a few others.

Hi,

In the case of AAPL, taking the year 2012 into account, 2013 is the first year of divided growth, and so on till 2021. 2022 is still ongoing hence that is not taken into calculation. So if we count the number of years from 2013 till 2021, it is 8 years. The same calculation applies to the rest of the tickers too.


Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.
