The Biggest Dividend Payers

Apple's stock has seen some rough sailing lately, but there's one area in which it still stands above its peers: Apple pays out more in dividends than any other company in America. It's currently paying out $11.5 billion in dividends annually, which is more than the entire market cap for the recently merged US Air and American Airlines.

In second place is the company that Apple jockeys with for position as the largest company in the world, Exxon Mobil. Exxon Mobil pays out $11.3 billion in dividends every year. The other leading dividend-payers:

  • AT&T: $9.9 billion
  • General Electric: $7.9 billion
  • Chevron: $7.0 billion
  • Microsoft: $6.9 billion
