Cameco Corporation dividend investors are working with a yield of 0.2%, which is low but backed by a business that supplies uranium and nuclear fuel services to utilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The trailing annual dividend rate stands at $0.2400 per share, paid annually, with the next ex-dividend date on December 1, 2025. CCJ also operates the Westinghouse segment, which provides reactor technology and services to commercial utilities and government agencies. With a beta of 1.141, this is not a low-volatility income play — it suits investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield.
Cameco Corporation pays out 29.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings fluctuate, supported by CCJ's role as a supplier of uranium concentrate and fuel services to nuclear utilities — customers with long-term, contracted demand for fuel. The most significant data-supported pressure on Cameco Corporation dividend safety is the stock's beta of 1.141, which reflects earnings sensitivity to commodity cycles in the uranium market.
Cameco Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.6% per year from 2002 to 2017. Per-share payments grew from $0.0832 to $0.3306 over that window (note: annual figures from 2018 onward appear as partial-year data in the available history, including Cameco Corporation dividend 2026). The largest annual increase in the window was 43.9% in 2006, while the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, showing the dividend has not moved in one direction without interruption.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +25.0% | $0.09 (2022) | $0.17 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +23.0% | $0.06 (2020) | $0.17 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -6.2% | $0.33 (2015) | $0.17 (2025) |
CCJ fits growth-and-income investors who want exposure to the nuclear fuel supply chain and are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for a history of above-average dividend growth. At 0.2%, the yield is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits in line with the 5-year average yield of 0.21%, so there is no meaningful yield compression or expansion to note. Six consecutive years of dividend increases show a renewed commitment to growth after a period of cuts visible in the historical data. The trade-off is straightforward: income today is minimal, but the 29.6% payout ratio leaves room for continued increases if earnings hold.
