DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. dividend currently yields 3.66%, backed by one of the largest omni-channel sporting goods retailers in the United States. DKS operates stores under banners including DICK'S House of Sport, Golf Galaxy, and Public Lands, selling everything from fitness equipment to athletic footwear. Over the trailing twelve months, the company paid $4.925 per share in dividends, distributed quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date set for September 11, 2026. A beta of 1.097 means DKS stock moves roughly in line with the broader market, making it a fit for income-focused investors who can tolerate moderate cyclical swings.
DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. pays out 53.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves meaningful earnings retained within the business, which spans hardlines, apparel, footwear, and specialty concept stores across the United States. DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. dividend safety gets its primary support from that mid-range payout ratio, which provides a buffer before any earnings pressure would threaten the payment. The key risk: DKS operates in Consumer Cyclical retail, where demand for sporting goods and discretionary footwear can contract during economic downturns, potentially squeezing the earnings that underpin the current payout.
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 so far and not used in the CAGR calculation). The largest single-year jump in the window was 467.8% in 2021, which reflects an extraordinary special or catch-up payment rather than a normalized growth rate. The data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the growth 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 yield above recent norms from a large specialty retailer. At 3.66%, the current yield sits well above the 5-year average of 2.0%, meaning buyers today are locking in a meaningfully higher income rate than the stock has historically offered. The moderate (2–4%) yield classification and a 53.5% payout ratio together describe a dividend that is neither stretched nor particularly aggressive. Three consecutive years of increases show recent momentum, but the history window includes at least one decline, so the streak is short. The trade-off is straightforward: a higher-than-average yield from a cyclical retailer, supported by a mid-range payout ratio, with growth that has been uneven over time.
