Dassault Aviation société anonyme dividend investors are looking at a French aerospace company that builds the Rafale fighter jet, Falcon business jets, and space systems across military and civilian markets. The current yield sits at 1.77%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4.78 per share paid annually. The next ex-dividend date is May 15, 2026. With a beta of 0.421, DUAVF stock moves at less than half the volatility of the broader market, which suits growth-and-income investors who want dividend expansion without sharp price swings.
Dassault Aviation société anonyme pays out 37.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves meaningful room to sustain or grow the dividend even if earnings soften. Dassault Aviation société anonyme dividend safety is further supported by the company's dual revenue base: military contracts anchored by the Rafale program and a commercial Falcon jet business serving international customers. The main pressure point is that DUAVF operates in a capital-intensive industry where large program delays or defense budget shifts can affect earnings, and the dividend has shown year-over-year declines in the historical record.
Dassault Aviation société anonyme dividend history shows a CAGR of 12.2% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.07 to $5.3538 over that window (with 2026 partial at $5.5680). The largest annual increase in the window was 46.3% in 2025, which shows the dividend can move sharply in a single year. The history 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 | +29.1% | $2.49 (2022) | $5.35 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +20.4% | $2.12 (2019) | $5.35 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +19.7% | $0.89 (2014) | $5.35 (2025) |
DUAVF stock fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend expansion over immediate income, given the 12.2% annual CAGR since 2011 and a yield classification of low (below 2%). At 1.77%, the current yield is above the 5-year average of 1.53%, which means income is modestly better than recent norms. The trade-off is clear: the payout ratio of 37.0% keeps the dividend well-covered, but the low yield means income alone is not the draw. What an investor gets here is a fast-growing dividend from a defense and aerospace company with low price volatility; what they accept is a yield that will not satisfy income-first portfolios.
