About BASF Se Dividend

BASF Se is a German chemical giant founded in 1865, operating across six divisions including petrochemicals, agricultural solutions, and battery materials. The BASF Se dividend currently yields 4.22%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.25 per share. The next ex-dividend date is May 5, 2026. With a beta of 0.806, BFFAF stock moves less than the broader market, which appeals to income-focused investors who prioritize lower volatility.

Dividend Safety

BASF Se pays out 35.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to sustain payments even if earnings soften, and BFFAF's diversified revenue across chemicals, nutrition, crop protection, and surface technologies means no single end market drives the entire business. BASF Se dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from the dividend's own history: the per-share amount has declined from $6.10 in 2008 to $3.63 in 2024, showing that earnings headwinds have translated into lower payouts before.

BASF Se (BFFAF) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

BASF Se dividend history shows a CAGR of -3.2% per year from 2008 to 2024. Per-share payments fell from $6.0973 to $3.6330 over that window (2025 and 2026 figures are partial years and excluded from the CAGR). The largest annual increase in the window was 39.1% in 2011, but the overall trend has been negative, and the history contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%. Growth is negative. That is the defining characteristic of BFFAF's dividend record.

BASF Se Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	-10.6%	$3.58 (2022)	$2.55 (2025)
5-Year	-7.1%	$3.69 (2020)	$2.55 (2025)
10-Year	-2.0%	$3.12 (2015)	$2.55 (2025)

Is BASF Se a Good Dividend Stock?

BASF Se fits income-focused investors who want a high current yield and can accept a dividend that has shrunk in per-share terms over time. The yield is high (above 4%), but it sits below the 5-year average of 5.63%, which means the stock is not at its most generous relative to its own history. The 35.2% payout ratio keeps the current $2.25 annual payment well-covered by earnings. The trade-off is clear: BFFAF stock offers a conservative payout structure and below-market volatility, but the dividend has not grown, and the long-term per-share trend runs in the wrong direction for investors who need rising income.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does BFFAF pay dividends?

Yes, BASF Se (BFFAF) pays a $2.25 annual dividend per share, yielding 4.22%.

What is BASF Se's current dividend yield?

BASF Se's current dividend yield is 4.22%. That sits below the stock's 5-year average yield of 5.63%, meaning the current yield is lower than what investors have received on average over the past five years.

Has BASF Se ever cut its dividend?

Yes. The available history shows multiple year-over-year declines, including a drop from $3.6972 in 2018 to $3.5829 in 2019, and from $3.9699 in 2021 to $3.5773 in 2022. The per-share dividend has also fallen from $6.0973 in 2008 to $3.6330 in 2024.

How fast has BASF Se grown its dividend?

BASF Se has not grown its dividend over the measured period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2008 to 2024 is -3.2% per year, reflecting a long-term decline in per-share payments from $6.0973 to $3.6330.

Is BASF Se dividend safe?

The 35.2% payout ratio is conservative (below 40%), which means current earnings cover the dividend with room to spare. However, the historical record shows the per-share amount has been cut before, so the payout ratio alone does not guarantee stability.

Is BASF Se a good dividend stock for income investors?

BASF Se offers a high yield above 4% and a conservative payout ratio of 35.2%, which suits income-focused investors prioritizing current yield over dividend growth. The trade-off is a long-term per-share decline of -3.2% per year, which erodes the real value of income over time.

What type of investor is BASF Se best suited for?

BASF Se fits income-focused investors who prioritize a high current yield and lower market sensitivity, given its 4.22% yield and beta of 0.806. Investors who need rising income over time will find the negative long-term CAGR of -3.2% a significant drawback.

How does BASF Se compare to its own historical yield?

The current BASF Se yield of 4.22% is below the 5-year average of 5.63%. That gap reflects a per-share dividend that has declined over time, meaning the stock is delivering less income relative to its price than it has historically.
