The 10 Year DPS Increase Count shows the number of times that the Dividend per Share has been increased during the last ten financial years.
Consistent dividend payments indicate a company with a certain level of financial stability. If companies are able to frequently increase their dividend payments then this may be a sign of financial stability and growth.
Note that the maximum value for this ratio is 9 since we use the 10th year DPS as the base value for testing.
