Avery Dennison Corporation dividend investors are looking at a materials science company that makes pressure-sensitive label materials, performance tapes, and item-level RFID solutions under brands like Fasson and Mactac. The current yield is 2.29%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.88 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 2, 2026. AVY's beta of 0.814 means it 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 room to absorb earnings pressure without threatening the dividend, and AVY serves a broad mix of end markets including apparel, e-commerce, food and grocery, and pharmaceuticals, which distributes demand across sectors rather than concentrating it in one. Avery Dennison Corporation dividend safety gets its clearest test from the cyclical nature of the Consumer Cyclical sector, where demand for packaging and labeling materials can soften during economic slowdowns.
Avery Dennison Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.8% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.00 to $3.70 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the rate 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 2.29%, which is above the stock's own 5-year average of 1.88%, meaning today's entry point delivers more income than the historical norm. The 41.7% payout ratio keeps the dividend well-covered. The trade-off is that AVY is not a high-yield play. What investors get instead is 15 consecutive years of increases at a 9.8% annual growth rate, which compounds meaningfully over time even if the starting yield is not exceptional.
