Today's Bonus News Dividend Growth Continues as 3 Big Stocks Raise PayoutsWritten by Leo Miller. Published 9/30/2025. 
Key Points - Three high-profile stocks across different sectors are increasing their dividend payouts.
- Texas Instruments' yield of more than 3% is among the highest in tech and semiconductors.
- With a new CEO ready to take the helm, T-Mobile is boosting its dividend in a huge way.
Three prominent U.S. companies—Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN), T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS), and Target (NYSE: TGT)—recently announced dividend increases, boosting yields for income investors. Though Texas Instruments and Target raised their dividends modestly, they remain among the market's highest-yielding stocks. T-Mobile, meanwhile, delivered a more pronounced increase. Read on for details on each dividend lift. TXN Boosts Dividend 4%, Maintains One of the Top Yields in Tech Texas Instruments—the world's eighth-largest semiconductor company with a $168 billion market cap—announced on Sept. 19 a new $1.42 per share quarterly dividend, a 4% increase. The payout is payable Nov. 12 to shareholders of record as of Oct. 31. Despite the modest raise, TXN's dividend now yields just under 3.1%, ranking third among large-cap U.S. tech firms and second among U.S. large-cap chip stocks. This marks the company's 22nd consecutive annual dividend increase. However, despite its size and prominence, TXN has underperformed its peers: its five-year total return of 54% trails the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ: SOXX), which has gained 185% over the same period. T-Mobile Announces Big Dividend Increase Amid CEO Shift T-Mobile US, one of the top three U.S. carriers, announced on Sept. 18 a 16% boost to its quarterly dividend. The new $1.02 per share payout—up from $0.88—is payable Dec. 11 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 26, 2025. This lifts the indicated yield to 1.7%, above the S&P 500's roughly 1.1% yield. This raise came days before T-Mobile announced a leadership change. Srini Gopalan will succeed CEO Mike Sievert on Nov. 1. Since Sievert took the helm in May 2020, T-Mobile's shares have rallied sharply. Under Sievert, shares delivered over 180% total return, adding more than $150 billion in market cap. T-Mobile hailed him as "the most value-creating CEO in global telecom history," setting high expectations for Gopalan. The dividend boost underscores the company's confidence despite the leadership transition. Target: 5.2% Yielder Looks to Turn Performance Around With Fresh Blood in 2026 On Sept. 17, consumer staples giant Target declared a quarterly dividend of $1.14—a 1.8% increase from $1.12—maintaining its commitment to income investors. The new payout pushes Target's yield to about 5.2%, placing it among the top 10 U.S. large-cap consumer staples and within the top 25 of all S&P 500 stocks. Target also named Michael Fiddelke to succeed Brian Cornell as CEO on Feb. 1, 2026. Under Cornell (CEO since Aug. 2014), Target's total return was 109%, roughly 30% below the consumer staples sector and lagging the broader S&P 500. Investors will look to Fiddelke to reverse that trend. Capital Returns Remain a Priority for These Stocks These dividend increases highlight each company's commitment to returning capital to shareholders despite varied performance. T-Mobile's sizable boost, in particular, sets a positive tone for Gopalan's tenure, signaling confidence even as the stock has returned less than 9% so far in 2025.
