Last week, we discussed two ASX blue chip dividend stocks that rewarded investors during earnings season by increasing their final dividends for 2025.
Those fortunate stocks were none other than Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS) and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA).
Since then, we have heard from many other ASX stocks, including many blue chips. That's despite earnings season largely wrapping up last week.
So today, let's discuss two more ASX blue chip dividend stocks that have just announced that their shareholders will enjoy higher dividends in 2025 than they did in 2024.
2 blue chip ASX 200 stocks that have just announced dividend hikes
Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES)
ASX 200 blue chip and conglomerate Wesfarmers revealed its latest earnings last Thursday. These contained some solid numbers, amongst them the revelation that Wesfarmers' final dividend for 2025 would be worth $1.11 per share. As is the company's habit, it will come with full franking credits attached too.
This fresh dividend represents a 3.74% rise over the final dividend of $1.07 per share that investors enjoyed this time last year. Together with the 2025 interim dividend of 95 cents per share, it takes Wesfarmers' full-year dividends to $2.06 per share, a 4% rise from the $1.97 investors enjoyed over 2024.
The company's latest final dividend will be doled out next month on 7 October.
At yesterday's closing price, this ASX 200 blue chip dividend stock was trading on a dividend yield of 2.27%.
Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)
Our next ASX blue chip dividend stock to check out is Coles Group. Coles reported its own full-year earnings two days before Wesfarmers did, back on last Tuesday, 26 August.
These earnings were also full of green numbers. One of those was the final dividend of 32 cents per share. As with Wesfarmers' payout, and as is Coles' tendency, this dividend will also come with full ranking credits attached.
This dividend matches 2024's final dividend, also worth 32 cents per share. However, Coles' 2025 interim dividend, which arrived in investors' bank accounts back in March, was worth 37 cents per share, a 2.78% rise over 2024's equivalent payout of 36 cents. That means Coles shareholders can claim to have enjoyed a 1.47% increase in dividend income for 2025.
That's a lot more than Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW) investors, who have just endured a 21% dividend cut, can claim.
Coles' latest dividend will be paid out later this month on 22 September.
At the last Coles share price, this ASX blue chip dividend stock was sporting a dividend yield of 2.86%.
