I think, declaring dividend is linked to their earnings report. For ex. last ER was on 4/28 and few days before that, they declared their dividend. So, its not given that there won't be any dividend in 2022 or so. Next earnings is in Jul, so we would get to know that sooner. As a side note, if any company declares dividend reduction or stops them altogether, I would expect the stock to drop like a rock. see AT&T in last year. https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INTC/dividends/history https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INTC/dividends/history edit: added history
