ABB Ltd dividend reflects a global industrial technology company with 140-plus years of history in electrification, automation, robotics, and motion. The current yield is 1.21%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.1607 per share. The next ex-dividend date is March 24, 2026. With a beta of 1.026, ABLZF stock moves roughly in line with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want industrial exposure without outsized volatility.
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 payments even if earnings soften, and ABB Ltd dividend safety is further supported by the company's broad customer base spanning utilities, data centers, mining, and transportation. The main pressure point is cyclical demand: ABB's industrial and infrastructure clients can pull back on capital spending during downturns, which could compress earnings and tighten that cushion.
ABB Ltd dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.8% per year from 2009 to 2025. The per-share payment grew from $0.48 in 2009 to $1.0196 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 36.6% in 2011, while growth in more recent years has been measured and incremental.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +5.1% | $0.88 (2022) | $1.02 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +4.1% | $0.83 (2020) | $1.02 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +2.5% | $0.80 (2014) | $1.02 (2025) |
ABLZF stock fits dividend investors who prioritize payout sustainability over headline yield. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 1.21%, which is above the 5-year average of 0.98% but still modest in absolute terms. Six consecutive years of dividend increases and a 42.8% payout ratio point to a company that treats the dividend as a commitment rather than an afterthought. The trade-off is clear: ABB Ltd offers a growing but low-yielding dividend backed by a diversified industrial business, not the kind of income that replaces a paycheck.
