DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. dividend currently yields 3.54%, backed by a retailer operating stores across sporting goods, golf, and outdoor specialty formats. DKS pays $4.9250 per share annually on a quarterly schedule, with the next ex-dividend date set for September 11, 2026, and a last payment of $1.25 per share. The company runs an omni-channel model spanning DICK'S House of Sport, Golf Galaxy, and the GameChanger youth sports app, among other banners. With a beta of 1.141, DKS stock carries slightly above-average market sensitivity, making it a fit for income-focused investors who can tolerate some cyclical price movement.
DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. pays out 52.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves meaningful room between the dividend and earnings, and the company's omni-channel model spanning in-store and online retail across sporting goods, footwear, and fitness equipment supports ongoing revenue generation. DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from the Consumer Cyclical sector: demand for discretionary sporting goods and apparel can soften during economic downturns, which could compress earnings and tighten the cushion that currently makes the payout look manageable.
DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.2% per year from 2012 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $2.50 in 2012 to $4.85 in 2025 (with 2026 partial at $3.75 year-to-date). The largest annual increase in the window was 467.8% in 2021, which reflects a special or catch-up payment rather than a baseline acceleration, and the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the path has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +35.4% | $1.95 (2022) | $4.85 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +31.1% | $1.25 (2020) | $4.85 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +24.3% | $0.55 (2015) | $4.85 (2025) |
DKS stock fits income-focused investors who want a moderate yield from a recognizable specialty retailer with room to keep paying. The current yield of 3.54% sits above the 5-year average of 3.21%, meaning buyers today are getting slightly more income than the historical norm. The moderate (2-4%) yield classification is not high enough to anchor a pure income portfolio on its own, but the 52.8% payout ratio keeps the dividend from looking stretched. The trade-off is cyclicality: as a Consumer Cyclical name with a beta above 1, DKS earnings and the dividend cushion can move with consumer spending trends, which is the main variable income investors accept here.
