BWX Technologies, Inc. dividend reflects a business built around nuclear components, naval reactors, and government-grade nuclear fuel, with operations spanning the U.S., Canada, and international markets. BWXT currently yields 0.82%, with trailing twelve-month payments of $1.06 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is November 19, 2026. With a beta of 0.725, BWXT stock carries below-market volatility, which suits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield.
BWX Technologies, Inc. pays out 26.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend, supported by a business anchored in sole-source nuclear components and government contracts where demand is not discretionary. BWX Technologies, Inc. dividend safety benefits from that structural positioning, though the company's concentration in government and defense spending means any shift in federal nuclear program budgets is the most direct data-supported pressure point.
BWX Technologies, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 12.5% per year from 2013 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.2431 in 2013 to $1.0000 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 4.2% in 2025, down sharply from the 52.4% jump recorded in 2018.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.4% | $0.88 (2022) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +5.6% | $0.76 (2020) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +17.3% | $0.20 (2015) | $1.00 (2025) |
BWXT stock fits growth-and-income investors who can accept a low current yield in exchange for above-average dividend growth from a nuclear-focused industrial business. The yield sits at 0.82%, classified as low (below 2%), and runs below the 5-year average yield of 0.9%. Ten consecutive years of dividend increases and a 12.5% annual growth rate are the defining characteristics here. The trade-off is straightforward: income today is modest, but the dividend has compounded at a rate that rewards patience. The 26.0% payout ratio means the growth has room to continue without straining the business.
