Deere & Company dividend investors are looking at a business that manufactures agricultural and construction equipment, from large combines and tractors to excavators and forestry machinery. The current yield is 1.04%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $6.48 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 30, 2026. With a beta of 0.897, DE stock moves slightly less than the broader market, which suits investors who want dividend growth without sharp price swings.
Deere & Company pays out 36.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That level of earnings retention gives DE room to fund operations across its four segments, including the capital-intensive Production and Precision Agriculture and Construction and Forestry businesses, without straining the dividend. Deere & Company dividend safety is supported by that low payout, though the business is tied to cyclical end markets like grain farming and construction, where demand can contract sharply during downturns.
Deere & Company dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.6% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share payment grew from $1.58 in 2012 to $6.48 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year, Deere & Company dividend 2026 data is incomplete). The largest annual increase in the window was 28.3% in 2021, while the smallest increases came in 2015 and 2016, when the dividend held flat at $2.40 per share for two consecutive years.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +12.8% | $4.51 (2022) | $6.48 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +16.3% | $3.04 (2020) | $6.48 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +10.4% | $2.40 (2015) | $6.48 (2025) |
DE stock fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising dividend stream from a large industrial business rather than a high current yield. The yield sits at 1.04%, which is low (below 2%) and below the 5-year average of 0.84% — so the current yield is actually above its own recent norm, a modest positive for income. Seventeen consecutive years of increases and a 10.6% annual growth rate are the real draw here. The trade-off is straightforward: income today is limited, but the dividend has compounded at a rate that rewards patience over time.
