About Dassault Aviation S.A. Dividend

Dassault Aviation S.A. dividend investors are buying into a French aerospace company that builds the Rafale fighter jet, Falcon business jets, and space systems for government and commercial clients worldwide. The current yield is 1.72%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4.78 per share. DUAVF carries a beta of 0.423, meaning the stock moves at less than half the volatility of the broader market. That low-volatility profile makes it a fit for income investors who prioritize capital preservation over maximum yield.

Dividend Safety

Dassault Aviation S.A. pays out 37.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves meaningful earnings headroom to sustain the current payment, supported by a business spanning military aircraft like the Rafale, Falcon business jets, and defense services across multiple countries. The most significant pressure point for Dassault Aviation S.A. dividend safety is the history of year-over-year declines in the dividend table, which shows the payout is not managed as a strict growth commitment.

Dassault Aviation S.A. (DUAVF) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Dassault Aviation S.A. Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+29.1%	$2.49 (2022)	$5.35 (2025)
5-Year	-24.1%	$21.20 (2019)	$5.35 (2025)

Is Dassault Aviation S.A. a Good Dividend Stock?

DUAVF suits dividend investors who accept an irregular payout history in exchange for low share-price volatility and a conservative payout structure. The yield sits at 1.72%, classified as low (below 2%), and that figure is essentially in line with the 5-year average of 1.7%, so there is no meaningful yield expansion on offer. The 37.0% payout ratio keeps the dividend well-covered, but the -4.8% CAGR over the full history window is a real trade-off. What an investor gets here is a low-beta aerospace holding with a covered dividend; what they give up is income growth.

Is Dassault Aviation S.A. dividend safe?

The 37.0% payout ratio is conservative (below 40%), which means the current dividend is well-covered by earnings. However, the historical record includes multiple cuts, so the payout is covered today but has not been treated as untouchable in past years.

What type of investor is Dassault Aviation S.A. best suited for?

DUAVF fits dividend investors who prioritize low volatility over income growth. A beta of 0.423 and a conservative payout ratio are the defining characteristics; the 1.72% yield and negative long-term CAGR make it a poor fit for investors seeking rising income.

How does Dassault Aviation S.A. compare to its own historical yield?

The current yield of 1.72% is nearly identical to the 5-year average of 1.7%. There is no meaningful gap between the two, meaning the stock is not trading at a historically cheap or expensive yield level on an income basis.

Why is Dassault Aviation S.A. dividend yield low?

The yield is low (below 2%) because the payout ratio is only 37.0%, meaning the company retains most of its earnings rather than distributing them. The per-share dividend has also declined over the full 2011-2025 history, which compounds the low-yield profile.
