Broadcom Inc. dividend income comes from one of the semiconductor industry's most diversified businesses, spanning custom silicon for AI networking, VMware cloud software, and enterprise cybersecurity. AVGO currently yields 0.72%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.60 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 21, 2026. With a beta of 1.476, this is not a low-volatility income play — it fits investors who accept price swings in exchange for fast dividend growth.
Broadcom Inc. pays out 32.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout is supported by a business spanning both semiconductor solutions and infrastructure software, including recurring-revenue products like VMware Cloud Foundation and mainframe software, which add demand beyond the cyclical chip business. Broadcom Inc. dividend safety faces its most meaningful pressure from the high-beta nature of the stock (1.476) and the capital intensity of competing in AI networking and custom silicon, though the payout ratio itself leaves substantial room before earnings stress would threaten the dividend.
Broadcom Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 34.1% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.04 to $2.42 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 11.5% in 2025, which still outpaces most dividend growers in any sector.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +12.7% | $1.69 (2022) | $2.42 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +12.6% | $1.33 (2020) | $2.42 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +30.9% | $0.16 (2015) | $2.42 (2025) |
AVGO stock fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield. At 0.72%, the yield is low (below 2%) and sits well below AVGO's own 5-year average yield of 1.26%, meaning the stock's price appreciation has outrun its dividend raises. The 32.4% payout ratio shows the dividend is not being stretched to manufacture yield. What an investor gets here is a 34.1% annualized growth rate over 14 years and 14 consecutive years of increases, backed by a business with both hardware and software revenue streams. The trade-off is a yield too thin to serve as a primary income source today.
