BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. dividend investors are looking at a semiconductor assembly equipment maker with a current yield of 0.92%. The company, headquartered in Duiven, the Netherlands, builds die bonding, molding, and plating systems sold under brands like Fico, Datacon, and Esec to chipmakers and foundries worldwide. Trailing twelve-month payments came to $1.58 per share, paid annually, with the next ex-dividend date set for April 28, 2026. At a beta of 1.301, BESIY stock carries above-average price volatility, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than pure income seekers.
BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. pays out 60.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer, but it does not leave much room for earnings pressure without affecting the dividend. BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. dividend safety is tied directly to demand from its core customers: multinational chip manufacturers, foundries, and assembly subcontractors who rely on its assembly equipment and related services. The most significant data-supported risk is cyclicality: the dividend history shows year-over-year declines in multiple years, reflecting how sensitive equipment spending is to semiconductor industry cycles.
BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. dividend history shows a CAGR of 16.8% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.2825 to $2.4885 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest single-year jump was 262.9% in 2015, which skews the long-run average upward. The data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the growth path has not been linear.
| 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 | +11.6% | $0.83 (2015) | $2.49 (2025) |
BESIY fits growth-and-income investors who can tolerate dividend volatility in exchange for above-average long-run growth from a semiconductor equipment business. The current yield of 0.92% is low (below 2%) and sits well below the 5-year average yield of 1.85%, meaning the stock's price appreciation has outpaced dividend growth in recent years. That limits income in the near term. What an investor gets is a 16.8% annualized dividend CAGR over 14 years. The trade-off is a cyclical payout history with documented declines, a payout ratio at the elevated end, and a yield that does not serve investors who need current income.
