BlackRock, Inc. is the world's largest investment manager, overseeing equity, fixed income, and multi-asset portfolios for pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and individual investors across the globe. The BlackRock, Inc. dividend currently yields 2.09%, with a trailing annual rate of $22.40 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 8, 2026, and the last dividend paid was $5.73 per share. With a beta of 1.429, BLK stock carries above-average market sensitivity, making it a better fit for dividend investors who can tolerate price swings in exchange for a growing payout.
BlackRock, Inc. pays out 69.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). BLK manages fee-based assets across ETFs, mutual funds, hedge funds, and advisory services for a globally diversified client base, which provides a broad revenue foundation that supports the current payout level. BlackRock, Inc. dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from the payout ratio itself: at nearly 70%, there is limited room to absorb a meaningful earnings decline without straining the dividend.
BlackRock, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.0% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $5.50 to $20.84 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2024, a sharp deceleration from the 20.2% peak increase recorded in 2018.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +2.2% | $19.52 (2022) | $20.84 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.5% | $14.52 (2020) | $20.84 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +9.1% | $8.72 (2015) | $20.84 (2025) |
BLK stock fits dividend investors who want a moderate (2–4%) yield paired with a long history of annual increases. 21 consecutive years of dividend growth is a meaningful streak, and the 10.0% CAGR over the 2011-2025 window shows the payout has compounded at a rate well above inflation. The current yield of 2.09% sits above the 5-year average of 1.82%, so income investors are getting slightly more yield than the historical norm. The trade-off is a payout ratio at the upper end of the elevated range and a beta above 1.4, meaning the stock price moves more than the broader market. BlackRock, Inc. offers growing income from a globally scaled asset management business, but the elevated payout ratio and price volatility are real constraints.
