D.R. Horton, Inc. dividend investors are looking at one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, operating across 31 states under brands like Express Homes, Emerald Homes, and America's Builder. DHI currently yields 1.26%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.80 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 6, 2026. With a beta of 1.375, DHI stock carries above-average price volatility, making it a better fit for growth-oriented dividend investors than those seeking steady income.
D.R. Horton, Inc. pays out 16.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low retention of earnings relative to the dividend means the company has substantial room to maintain payments even if homebuilding demand softens across its 98 markets. D.R. Horton, Inc. dividend safety is supported by that wide earnings cushion, though the Consumer Cyclical sector means revenue is tied to housing demand, which can contract sharply during economic downturns.
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 period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the rate calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 100.0% in 2012, and the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, meaning growth has not been linear.
| 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 investors who prioritize earnings retention and dividend growth over immediate income. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.26%, and that sits well above the 5-year average yield of 0.81%, so the current entry point offers more income than the stock has historically delivered. The 16.6% payout ratio leaves the dividend well covered. The trade-off is straightforward: D.R. Horton, Inc. stock offers a growing dividend backed by a conservative payout, but the absolute yield is modest, and the cyclical homebuilding business adds price volatility that income-focused investors should weigh carefully.
