Avery Dennison Corporation dividend has been paid quarterly for over four decades, backed by a business that makes pressure-sensitive label materials, RFID solutions, and branding products sold to apparel, food, logistics, and e-commerce industries worldwide. The current yield is 2.22%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.88 per share. AVY pays dividends quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on September 2, 2026. A beta of 0.814 means AVY stock moves less than the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize lower volatility over maximum yield.
Avery Dennison Corporation pays out 41.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves meaningful earnings retained within the business, and AVY serves industries like food and grocery, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce where demand for labeling and identification solutions does not disappear in a downturn. Avery Dennison Corporation dividend safety gets its main test from the cyclical nature of the Consumer Cyclical sector, where revenue can soften when industrial and retail activity slows.
Avery Dennison Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.8% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $1.00 to $3.70 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 4.4% in 2020, which still represented a raise rather than a pause.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +8.1% | $2.93 (2022) | $3.70 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +9.4% | $2.36 (2020) | $3.70 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +9.7% | $1.46 (2015) | $3.70 (2025) |
AVY fits dividend investors who want a combination of meaningful income and above-average dividend growth from a company with broad industrial exposure. The yield sits in the moderate (2–4%) range at 2.22%, which is above the stock's own 5-year average yield of 1.82%, meaning the current entry point offers more income than the historical norm. Fifteen consecutive years of increases and a 9.8% annual growth rate are the defining strengths here. The trade-off is that the yield is not high enough to anchor a pure income portfolio, and the Consumer Cyclical sector classification means earnings, and by extension the payout, can face pressure when economic conditions weaken.
