About Salesforce, Inc. Dividend

Salesforce, Inc. dividend marks a relatively new chapter for a company better known for its Customer 360 platform, Slack, and enterprise software dominance. CRM currently pays a 1.28% yield, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.1280 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 11, 2026. With a beta of 1.178, this is not a low-volatility income play — it suits dividend investors who are comfortable with technology sector swings in exchange for exposure to a large-scale software business.

Dividend Safety

Salesforce, Inc. pays out 19.3% 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 broad enterprise software business spanning Sales, Service, Commerce, and MuleSoft that serves customers across financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing. Salesforce, Inc. dividend safety faces its most credible pressure from the company's beta of 1.178 — earnings volatility in a technology downturn could tighten the cushion, even if the current payout ratio looks comfortable.

Salesforce, Inc. (CRM) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Salesforce, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.0% per year from 2024 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $1.6000 to $1.6640 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation, per Salesforce, Inc. dividend 2026 reporting). The smallest annual increase in the window was 4.0% in 2025 — which is also the only data point available, so the growth rate has been uniform across the full measured window.

Is Salesforce, Inc. a Good Dividend Stock?

CRM stock fits dividend investors who want income from a large enterprise software business but are not chasing yield. The yield sits at 1.28%, classified as low (below 2%), and no 5-year average yield is available for comparison given the dividend's short history. What the data does show is a 19.3% payout ratio that leaves the dividend well-covered, and a 4.0% annual growth rate that at least keeps pace with moderate inflation. The trade-off is straightforward: income is modest, the dividend history spans only three years with no consecutive annual increases on record, and the stock carries above-market price volatility at a beta of 1.178.
