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. The current yield is 1.03%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $6.48 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 30, 2026. With a beta of 0.901, DE stock moves slightly less than the broader market, which suits investors who want dividend growth without extreme price swings.
Deere & Company pays out 36.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings soften, and DE's four business segments, spanning large-scale farming equipment, turf and utility products, construction machinery, and financial services, provide demand across multiple end markets. Deere & Company dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from cyclical downturns in agricultural or construction spending, which can compress earnings and tighten that cushion quickly.
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 data is partial and not used in this calculation, per Deere & Company dividend 2026 reporting conventions). The largest annual increase in the window was 28.3% in 2021, while the smallest came during the flat years of 2015-2017, when the annual payment held at $2.40 for three 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 capital-intensive industrial business, not a high current yield. At 1.03%, the yield is low (below 2%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 0.83%, so the current entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 36.0% payout ratio means the dividend is not being stretched to attract buyers. What an investor gains here is a 17-year streak of consecutive increases and a 10.6% annual growth rate. The trade-off is a yield that will not move the needle for pure income seekers in the near term.
