Curtiss-Wright Corporation dividend investors are working with a yield of 0.17%, paid on a company that supplies nuclear propulsion equipment, embedded computing systems, and flight test instrumentation to defense and industrial customers worldwide. CW pays $0.98 per share annually in quarterly installments, with the next ex-dividend date on June 15, 2026. The last quarterly payment was $0.26 per share. With a beta of 0.845, CW stock moves less than the broader market, which suits investors who prioritize price steadiness over high current income.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation pays out 6.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That figure leaves an unusually wide buffer, meaning the company retains the vast majority of earnings even after covering the dividend. Curtiss-Wright Corporation dividend safety is further supported by the breadth of its end markets: defense electronics, naval propulsion, and nuclear power infrastructure represent demand that does not evaporate quickly. The most meaningful pressure point is that defense and government spending can shift with budget cycles, which affects revenue visibility across CW's three segments.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.9% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.32 to $0.93 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the rate calculation). The largest single-year jump was 33.3% in 2014, while more recent years have delivered smaller but unbroken annual increases, with 18 consecutive years of dividend growth on record.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +7.4% | $0.75 (2022) | $0.93 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +6.5% | $0.68 (2020) | $0.93 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +6.0% | $0.52 (2015) | $0.93 (2025) |
CW stock fits dividend investors who value a long, unbroken growth streak over immediate income. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 0.17%, which is above the 5-year average of 0.14% but still far below what income-focused portfolios typically require. Eighteen consecutive years of increases and a 7.9% annual growth rate show that Curtiss-Wright Corporation has prioritized dividend growth over yield size. The 6.6% payout ratio means the dividend is not under pressure, but the trade-off is clear: an investor gets a growing payment from a defense and industrial business, not a meaningful income stream in the near term.
