Activision Blizzard, Inc. dividend sits at $0.99 per share annually, paid once per year, with an ex-dividend date of August 1, 2023. The company behind Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Candy Crush operates across consoles, PC, and mobile in markets spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. ATVI currently yields 1.05%. With a beta of 0.37, ATVI stock carries low price volatility, which suits growth-and-income investors more focused on dividend expansion than immediate income.
Activision Blizzard, Inc. pays out 24.3% 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 a business model drawing revenue from subscriptions, full game sales, in-game purchases, and software licensing across franchises like Overwatch and Diablo. Activision Blizzard, Inc. dividend safety faces its most data-visible pressure from the 2022 freeze, where the per-share dividend held flat at $0.47 for two consecutive years before the 2023 jump, showing the payout is not immune to pauses.
Activision Blizzard, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 15.6% per year from 2010 to 2023. The per-share dividend grew from $0.15 to $0.99 over that window (2026 data not yet reflected in the full-period calculation). The smallest annual increase in the available history was 8.3% in 2011, when the dividend moved from $0.15 to $0.165.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +34.2% | $0.41 (2020) | $0.99 (2023) |
| 5-Year | +23.8% | $0.34 (2018) | $0.99 (2023) |
ATVI stock fits growth-and-income investors who want dividend expansion from a scaled interactive entertainment business, not a high current payout. The yield is low (below 2%), and at 1.05% it sits above the 5-year average of 0.68%, so the current yield is actually elevated relative to its own history. The 15.6% annual growth rate is the real draw here. The trade-off is clear: an investor gets a fast-growing dividend backed by a conservative 24.3% payout ratio, but accepts a yield that delivers little near-term income on its own.
