Deere & Company dividend investors are buying into one of the world's largest manufacturers of agricultural and construction equipment, from large-scale combines and tractors to excavators and forestry machinery. DE pays $6.48 per share annually, distributed quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on September 30, 2026. The current yield sits at 0.95%. A Dividend Aristocrat with 38 consecutive years of increases, this stock fits investors who prioritize dividend growth over immediate income, supported by a beta of 0.911 that reflects below-market price volatility.
Deere & Company pays out 36.0% 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 large-scale farming equipment and financial services that support dealer and end-user purchases. Deere & Company dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from cyclical demand: agricultural and construction equipment spending tends to contract during economic downturns, which can compress earnings and tighten the cushion that the current payout ratio provides.
Deere & Company dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.6% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share payment grew from $1.58 to $6.48 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 28.3% in 2021, while 2015 and 2016 each saw no increase at all, the smallest growth in the available data. For income investors, a 10.6% annual growth rate means the dividend has roughly quadrupled in 14 years, which matters far more than the current yield for long-term total income.
| 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 income stream from a business with global scale in agriculture and construction, and who can accept a low starting yield. At 0.95%, the current yield is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 0.77%, meaning today's entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 38-consecutive-year increase streak confirms Deere & Company's Dividend Aristocrat status and reflects a long commitment to growing the payout. The trade-off is straightforward: investors get a fast-growing dividend backed by a conservative payout ratio, but they give up meaningful current income from day one.
DE is a Dividend Aristocrat with 38 consecutive years of dividend increases.
