Baker Hughes Company dividend investors get exposure to a global oilfield services and industrial energy technology business paying $0.92 per share annually. BKR currently yields 1.45%, paid quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on August 7, 2026. The last quarterly payment was $0.23 per share. With a beta of 0.959, BKR tracks closely with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want energy sector exposure without extreme price swings.
Baker Hughes Company pays out 29.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings soften, which matters in a cyclical sector like oil and gas equipment and services. Baker Hughes Company dividend safety gets its clearest test during energy downturns, and the primary risk is earnings pressure tied to oilfield activity levels, which can fall sharply when energy prices decline.
Baker Hughes Company dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.9% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.60 to $0.92 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR). Growth has been slow by most dividend investor standards. The largest annual increase in the window was an extraordinary 2,575% in 2017, which reflects a structural event in the dividend history rather than organic earnings growth, and the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +8.0% | $0.73 (2022) | $0.92 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +5.0% | $0.72 (2020) | $0.92 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +3.1% | $0.68 (2015) | $0.92 (2025) |
BKR stock fits dividend investors who prioritize payout safety over income size. The yield is low (below 2%), and at 1.45% it sits above the 5-year average of 1.26%, so current buyers are getting a slightly better entry yield than the historical norm. The 29.4% payout ratio is the defining strength here: it keeps the dividend well-covered even through the cyclical swings typical of oilfield services. Seven consecutive years of increases show a commitment to growth, but at 2.9% annually, that growth is slow. The trade-off is clear: a covered, growing dividend from an energy services and industrial technology business, in exchange for a yield that will not satisfy income-focused portfolios on its own.
