Amcor plc dividend stands at $2.5875 per share annually, paid quarterly by one of the world's largest packaging companies, serving food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care markets across more than five continents. The current yield is 5.75%, placing AMCR stock firmly in high-yield territory. Payments arrive quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on May 28, 2026, and the last declared amount was $0.65 per share. With a beta of 0.614, AMCR stock moves well below the broader market, which appeals to income investors who prioritize lower price volatility.
Amcor plc pays out 180.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That figure sits well above 100%, meaning the current dividend exceeds reported earnings, and the company's broad exposure to everyday packaging needs, from carbonated soft drinks to pharmaceutical products, provides the demand base that has supported payments so far. Amcor plc dividend safety is the central question for income investors here, and the payout ratio at this level leaves little margin if earnings come under pressure.
Amcor plc dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.3% per year from 2019 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.3008 to $0.5125 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 1.9% in 2021, showing that growth has not been uniform, and income investors should expect variability year to year rather than a steady step-up.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +2.0% | $0.48 (2022) | $0.51 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +2.1% | $0.46 (2020) | $0.51 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +29.2% | $0.04 (2015) | $0.51 (2025) |
AMCR fits dividend investors who prioritize yield over growth speed. The current yield of 5.75% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits far above the 5-year average yield of 1.09%, which reflects how much the yield has expanded in recent years. Ten consecutive years of dividend increases show a commitment to growing the payout, but the 180.8% payout ratio is the defining trade-off: income investors get a high yield backed by global packaging demand across food, beverage, and healthcare end markets, but the payout exceeds current earnings, which limits how much cushion exists if business conditions deteriorate.
