About ABB Ltd Dividend

ABB Ltd dividend income comes from one of the oldest names in industrial technology, a Zurich-based company founded in 1883 that supplies electrification systems, robotics, motion drives, and process automation to utilities, manufacturers, and infrastructure operators worldwide. The current yield stands at 1.21%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.1607 per share. The most recent ex-dividend date was March 27, 2023, with a last declared amount of $0.9191 per share. With a beta of 1.02, ABB tracks the broader market closely, making it a fit for dividend investors who want industrial exposure without outsized volatility.

Dividend Safety

ABB Ltd pays out 42.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves meaningful room to sustain the payment, supported by ABB's broad revenue base across electrification, robotics, and process automation serving dozens of industries from data centers to wind power. ABB Ltd dividend safety faces its main test from cyclical demand: the company serves capital-intensive sectors like mining, oil and gas, and automotive, where spending can contract sharply in downturns, putting pressure on earnings and, by extension, the dividend.

ABB Ltd (ABB) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

ABB Ltd dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.4% per year from 2009 to 2023. Per-share payments grew from $0.4410 to $0.9191 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the rate calculation). The largest single-year increase in the window was 33.3% in 2011, while the streak of consecutive annual increases currently stands at just 2 years, reflecting a history that includes several flat or down years between 2015 and 2020.

ABB Ltd Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+5.9%	$0.77 (2020)	$0.92 (2023)
5-Year	+2.2%	$0.83 (2018)	$0.92 (2023)
10-Year	+2.2%	$0.74 (2013)	$0.92 (2023)

Is ABB Ltd a Good Dividend Stock?

ABB Ltd fits dividend investors who prioritize a manageable payout ratio over a high current yield. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.21%, and it sits well below the 5-year average of 2.4%, meaning buyers today receive less income relative to ABB's own recent history. The 42.8% payout ratio keeps the dividend covered, and the 5.4% long-term growth rate is real but not fast. What an investor gets here is an industrial technology company with a broad customer base and a dividend that has room to grow. The trade-off is a yield that does not compete on income alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ABB pay dividends?

What is ABB Ltd's current dividend yield?

ABB Ltd's current dividend yield is 1.21%, based on a trailing annual rate of $1.1607 per share. That is well below the 5-year average yield of 2.4%, so today's buyers are receiving less income relative to ABB's own recent history.

Has ABB Ltd ever cut its dividend?

Within the available history window (2009–2023), ABB Ltd recorded year-over-year declines in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020. The dividend was not eliminated, but it was not a straight line upward either.

Is ABB Ltd dividend safe?

The 42.8% payout ratio, classified as moderate (40–60%), keeps the ABB dividend well covered by earnings. The main risk is cyclical: ABB serves capital-intensive industries where demand can fall sharply, compressing earnings and dividend headroom.

Is ABB Ltd a good dividend stock for income investors?

For income investors focused on yield, ABB Ltd stock is a limited option at 1.21%, which is below its own 5-year average of 2.4%. The moderate payout ratio and long-term growth rate make it more relevant to investors who value dividend growth over immediate income.

Why is ABB Ltd dividend yield low?

The yield is low because the payout ratio is moderate at 42.8% and the stock price reflects a premium for ABB's position across electrification, robotics, and automation markets. A lower payout relative to price naturally compresses the yield.

How does ABB Ltd compare to its own historical yield?

At 1.21%, the current ABB dividend yield is roughly half the 5-year average of 2.4%. Investors buying today are accepting a meaningfully lower income rate than the stock has historically delivered.
