About Citigroup Inc. Dividend

Citigroup Inc. dividend income comes from one of the world's largest diversified banks, founded in 1812 and operating across Treasury and Trade Solutions, Markets, Wealth, and U.S. Personal Banking. C currently yields 1.69%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.40 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is May 4, 2026. A beta of 1.115 means C stock moves slightly more than the broader market, which income investors focused on low-volatility payouts should factor in.

Dividend Safety

Citigroup Inc. pays out 33.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That level of earnings retention gives the company room to absorb pressure across its diversified segments, from institutional Markets activity to consumer-facing Branded Cards and Retail Services. Citigroup Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest risk from the company's beta of 1.115, which reflects sensitivity to broader financial market conditions that can compress bank earnings and, in turn, dividend capacity.

Citigroup Inc. (C) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Citigroup Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 0.4% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments moved from $2.16 to $2.32 over that window (2026 data is a partial year and excluded from the rate calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 300.0% in 2015, reflecting a recovery from the post-crisis period when the dividend had been cut to near zero, and the data window contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%.

Citigroup Inc. Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+4.4%	$2.04 (2022)	$2.32 (2025)
5-Year	+2.6%	$2.04 (2020)	$2.32 (2025)
10-Year	+30.7%	$0.16 (2015)	$2.32 (2025)

Is Citigroup Inc. a Good Dividend Stock?

C stock fits dividend investors who want a conservatively managed payout from a large, diversified financial institution rather than maximum current income. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.69%, and the 0.4% annual growth rate over the 2007-2025 window means the dividend has barely kept pace with inflation in dollar terms. The 33.8% payout ratio is the clearest positive here: it shows the dividend is not stretched. The trade-off is straightforward. Investors get a well-covered payout backed by a global banking franchise, but accept a yield that delivers limited income per dollar invested and growth that is slow by any measure.
