Coterra Energy Inc. pays a dividend of $0.88 per share annually, drawn from its upstream oil, natural gas, and NGL operations across the Marcellus Shale, Permian Basin, and Anadarko Basin. The current dividend yield sits at 2.7%, with dividends paid quarterly. The last dividend of $0.22 per share carries an ex-dividend date of March 11, 2026. With a beta of 0.304, CTRA stock moves far less than the broader market, which appeals to income investors who want energy exposure without sharp price swings.
Coterra Energy Inc. pays out 40.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer, supported by demand from a broad customer base that includes industrial consumers, utilities, pipeline operators, and power generators. Coterra Energy Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from commodity price volatility: as an upstream producer of crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs, revenue swings with energy markets, and the dividend history shows at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5% in the available window.
Coterra Energy Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.4% per year from 2006 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.16 to $0.88 over that span (with 2026 a partial year). The largest single-year jump in the window was 180.0% in 2021, reflecting the volatility typical of energy-sector payouts rather than a steady upward march.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -29.3% | $2.49 (2022) | $0.88 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +17.1% | $0.40 (2020) | $0.88 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +27.1% | $0.08 (2015) | $0.88 (2025) |
CTRA stock fits dividend investors who want moderate income from an energy producer and can tolerate commodity-driven variability in the payout. The current yield of 2.7% falls in the moderate (2-4%) range, and it sits below the 5-year average yield of 3.99%, meaning the stock is currently priced at a premium relative to its own recent income history. The 40.4% payout ratio provides a real cushion, but the history of year-over-year declines makes this a different proposition than a utility or consumer staples payer. What an investor gets here is energy-sector income with a low-beta stock and a long dividend history; what they accept is a yield that has run below its own historical average and a payout tied directly to oil and gas prices.
