Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is unquestionably one of them. The company has raised its dividend annually since it began paying one in 1972. Last year marked the 50th year in a row that the drug and consumer products company lifted the dividend. That's what you call an impressive track record. Okay, so the dividend-paying history is superb. But so is its cash flow growth. In 2021, the maker of Band-Aids, medical devices and cancer-fighting drugs, along with many other products, generated $19.8 million in free cash flow. That figure is expected to grow to $22.9 billion when Johnson & Johnson reports full-year 2022 results and rocket to $26.7 billion this year. SPONSORED Wall Street Legend Warns "Financial Reset" is Coming Man who predicted 2022 crash warns 8.4 million Americans to get out of banks and into a new vehicle 50 years in the making. The company is forecast to have paid out $11.5 billion in dividends in 2022, just 50% of its free cash flow. If the 2023 free cash flow and dividends paid projections are correct, this year, the company's payout ratio will dip to 45%. I like to see a company's payout ratio below 75%. So 45% is quite low and suggests the company has lots of room to raise the dividend even if free cash flow isn't as strong as predicted. Johnson & Johnson's dividend is as safe as a bet that most New Year's resolutions will be forgotten by February.
