Agilent Technologies, Inc. dividend comes from a life sciences and diagnostics company serving pharmaceutical, clinical, and applied chemical markets worldwide through instruments, consumables, and lab services.

At a beta of 1.208, A stock carries above-average market sensitivity, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than pure income seekers.
Agilent Technologies, Inc. pays out 20.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend, supported by recurring demand across the company's Agilent CrossLab services segment, which generates repeat revenue through repairs, maintenance, consumables, and software subscriptions. Agilent Technologies, Inc. dividend safety faces its main pressure from a beta of 1.208, meaning earnings can move sharply with broader market conditions, which could tighten that cushion in a downturn.
Agilent Technologies, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.6% per year from 2012 to 2024. Per-share payments grew from $0.2860 to $0.9560 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 46.4% in 2015. The data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -11.3% | $1.06 (2022) | $0.74 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +6.6% | $0.54 (2020) | $0.74 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +3.7% | $0.52 (2015) | $0.74 (2025) |
A stock fits growth-and-income investors who want dividend growth from a life sciences and diagnostics business rather than a high current payout. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at 0.6% today versus a 5-year average of 0.68%, so income alone is not the draw. What the stock offers instead is a 10.6% annualized dividend growth rate over 12 years, backed by a 20.0% payout ratio that leaves room to keep raising. The trade-off is clear: investors accept a yield that barely registers as income in exchange for a growth rate that has historically outpaced inflation by a wide margin.
