BorgWarner Inc. dividend investors are looking at a global auto parts supplier that makes turbochargers, power electronics, and drivetrain components for combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles. The current yield is 1.07%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.68 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 1, 2026. BWA's beta of 1.076 means the stock moves roughly in line with the broader market, making it a cyclical holding rather than a low-volatility income play.
BorgWarner Inc. pays out 35.9% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to sustain the dividend even if earnings soften, which matters for a company exposed to auto industry cycles across light vehicles, commercial trucks, and off-highway equipment. The primary pressure point for BorgWarner Inc. dividend safety is cyclicality: the auto parts sector is sensitive to production volumes, and the dividend history shows at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5% in the available data window.
BorgWarner Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of -0.3% per year from 2002 to 2025. Per-share, that means the dividend moved from $0.60 to $0.56 over the full window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 20.0% in 2003, but that single jump was not sustained, and the overall trend across more than two decades is essentially flat.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -6.3% | $0.68 (2022) | $0.56 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -3.8% | $0.68 (2020) | $0.56 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +0.7% | $0.52 (2015) | $0.56 (2025) |
BWA fits dividend investors who want a low-payout, auto-sector holding rather than a high-income position. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.07%, and that sits above the 5-year average of 0.92%, so current buyers are getting slightly more income than the historical norm. The trade-off is clear: the conservative 35.9% payout ratio keeps the dividend well-covered, but the long-run CAGR of -0.3% means the per-share payment has not grown in real terms. BorgWarner Inc. stock offers coverage and a modest yield, not dividend growth.
