Dividend forecasting: how far ahead, and how sure
Every tracker here lists upcoming payouts. The difference is whether it projects each future payment on its own date, how far ahead it goes, whether it says how confident it is, and whether the method is published.
Yes — 12-month view of upcoming payments, announced or predicted (Premium and Pro). No multi-year forecast or per-payment confidence rating.
Partly — The Future Income report lists paid, pending, announced and estimated upcoming dividends; no multi-year dated forecast or confidence rating.
Yes — Each future payment is projected individually with a date, an amount, a growth assumption and a High, Medium or Low confidence tier, out to 10 years in the what-if projections. Built from each holding's own payment history, with the method published.
