BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. dividend comes from a Dutch equipment maker that builds die attach systems, molding equipment, and plating tools for the global semiconductor assembly market. The trailing annual dividend rate stands at $1.58 per share, with the next ex-dividend date set for April 28, 2026. BESIY currently yields 0.8%, a low figure that reflects a stock priced more for growth than income. With a beta of 1.336, this is a higher-volatility technology name best suited to investors who can tolerate price swings in exchange for dividend growth.
BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. pays out 60.1% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is serviceable given BESI's position supplying equipment to multinational chip manufacturers and outsourced assembly and test providers, a customer base that drives recurring demand for tooling, spare parts, and support services. BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from the cyclical nature of semiconductor capital equipment spending, which has already produced year-over-year dividend declines in the historical record. A downturn in chip industry investment could compress earnings and tighten the headroom that the current 60.1% payout ratio provides.
BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. dividend history shows a CAGR of 16.8% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.2846 to $2.4885 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest single-year jump was 267.2% in 2015, which illustrates how lumpy this growth has been rather than steady and linear. The history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, confirming that BESI's dividend does not move in only one direction.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -10.8% | $3.51 (2022) | $2.49 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +17.4% | $1.12 (2020) | $2.49 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +4.0% | $1.68 (2015) | $2.49 (2025) |
BESIY stock fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend expansion over current yield and can accept meaningful price volatility in a cyclical technology sector. The current yield of 0.8% is low (below 2%) and sits below the 5-year average yield of 1.18%, meaning buyers today receive less income relative to price than the historical norm. The 16.8% annualized growth rate over 14 years is the real draw here, not the starting income. The trade-off is clear: BESI delivers strong long-run dividend growth, but the payout has declined in past cycles and the current yield offers little cushion for income-focused portfolios.
