[Editorial] How much does dividend growth matter versus starting yield?

Capital Lens Editorial · 10/9/2026

Editorial discussion starter. A 2% yielder growing payouts 10% a year overtakes a 5% yielder growing 2% a year in roughly 15 years. Run both in the DRIP planner and share which profile fits your timeline.

Editorial note: in the planner, try a 2% yield with 10% growth against 5% with 2% growth over 20 years and compare the final annual income column.
