The Carlyle Group Inc. dividend comes from one of the world's largest alternative asset managers, a firm that deploys capital across private equity buyouts, real assets, structured credit, and venture investments spanning five continents. CG currently pays a trailing annual dividend of $1.40 per share, distributed quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on May 18, 2026. The current yield stands at 3.27%. With a beta of 1.831, this is a volatile stock, making it better suited to income-focused investors who can tolerate meaningful price swings in exchange for the yield.
The Carlyle Group Inc. pays out 92.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That level leaves little buffer: nearly all reported earnings flow directly to shareholders, with minimal room to absorb a revenue shortfall across Carlyle's four investment segments. The Carlyle Group Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from that thin margin, since the firm's fee and carry income is tied to deal activity and asset valuations, both of which can contract sharply in a downturn. A beta of 1.831 reinforces that the stock itself amplifies market moves, adding another layer of risk to the income picture.
The Carlyle Group Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 0.4% per year from 2013 to 2025. Per-share payments moved from $1.33 in 2013 to $1.40 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 80.3% in 2015, but the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which means growth has been anything but linear. At 0.4% annually, the dividend has barely kept pace with inflation over the full period.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.6% | $1.23 (2022) | $1.40 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.0% | $1.00 (2020) | $1.40 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -8.5% | $3.39 (2015) | $1.40 (2025) |
The Carlyle Group Inc. fits income-focused investors who want exposure to global alternative asset management and can accept a high payout ratio alongside meaningful price volatility. The current yield of 3.27% sits in the moderate (2-4%) range and runs slightly above the 5-year average of 2.99%, which is a modest premium but not a dramatic one. Growth is slow: 0.4% annually over 12 years is not a dividend growth story. What CG offers is a current income stream from a firm with broad global reach across private equity, real assets, and credit strategies. The trade-off is a 92.4% payout ratio that leaves little cushion, paired with a beta of 1.831 that makes the stock price itself unpredictable.
