D.R. Horton, Inc. is the largest homebuilder in the United States, building and selling residential homes across 126 markets in 36 states. The D.R.

The next ex-dividend date is August 6, 2026, with the last declared amount at $0.45 per share.

D.R. Horton, Inc. pays out 16.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves substantial earnings retained within the business, which spans homebuilding, mortgage financing, title services, and rental property development across 36 states. D.R. Horton, Inc. dividend safety is supported by that low payout floor, but the Consumer Cyclical sector means earnings are tied to housing demand, and a beta of 1.351 reflects meaningful exposure to economic swings that could pressure underlying profits.
D.R. Horton, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.8% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.60 to $1.65 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 99.7% in 2012, and the data block notes at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5% within the full history, meaning growth has not been uninterrupted.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +21.3% | $0.93 (2022) | $1.65 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +17.9% | $0.72 (2020) | $1.65 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +20.0% | $0.27 (2015) | $1.65 (2025) |
DHI fits dividend growth investors who can accept a low current yield in exchange for an 11-year streak of consecutive increases. At 1.33%, the yield is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 0.95%, which reflects recent dividend increases outpacing price appreciation. The 16.7% payout ratio means the dividend consumes a small fraction of earnings, leaving room for continued increases. The trade-off is clear: income today is modest, and a beta of 1.351 means the stock moves sharply with the broader economy. What an investor gets is a fast-growing dividend from a homebuilder with a conservative payout structure.
