Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft dividend investors are looking at a global banking operation spanning corporate banking, investment banking, private wealth, and asset management across more than a dozen markets. The current yield sits at 3.18%, paid annually, with the last dividend amount of $1.1650 per share and an ex-dividend date of May 29, 2026. On a trailing twelve-month basis, DB paid $1.00 per share. The annual payment structure and a beta of 1.045 mean this stock moves roughly in line with the broader market, making it a consideration for income-focused investors comfortable with banking sector volatility.
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft pays out 30.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to absorb earnings pressure without forcing a cut, and DB's diversified revenue base across its Corporate Bank, Investment Bank, Private Bank, and Asset Management segments spreads income across multiple business lines. Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft dividend safety faces its clearest test from the cyclical nature of banking: investment banking revenues and trading income can swing sharply with market conditions, and the history table shows the dividend was slashed dramatically in the years following 2014.
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft dividend history shows a CAGR of -5.0% per year from 2005 to 2025. The per-share dividend fell from $2.1502 in 2005 to $0.7718 in 2025 (the 2026 figure of $1.1678 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR). The largest annual increase in the window was 72.1% in 2022, reflecting a recovery from deeply depressed levels rather than organic growth, and the data contains multiple years with year-over-year declines exceeding 5%.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | +43.0% | $0.13 (2018) | $0.77 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -0.7% | $0.83 (2012) | $0.77 (2025) |
DB stock fits income-focused investors who want exposure to a globally diversified bank and can accept a volatile dividend history. The current yield of 3.18% is classified as moderate (2-4%), and it sits above the 5-year average yield of 2.44%, which means today's entry point offers a better income rate than the recent norm. The 30.0% payout ratio keeps the current dividend well-covered. The trade-off is real: the long-term CAGR is negative at -5.0%, and the history includes severe cuts. What an investor gets is a covered, above-average yield from a major global bank. What they accept is a dividend that has been cut before and could be again if banking conditions deteriorate.
