Ecopetrol S.A. dividend income comes from one of Latin America's largest integrated energy companies, spanning oil and gas exploration, refining at the Barrancabermeja and Cartagena refineries, and toll road concessions across Colombia and beyond. The current yield stands at 3.83%, paid annually. The last dividend was $0.6610 per share, with the next ex-dividend date set for April 29, 2026. EC stock carries a beta of -0.043, meaning it moves almost independently of broader market swings, which appeals to income-focused investors seeking low correlation to equity volatility.
Ecopetrol S.A. pays out 36.1% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to absorb earnings pressure before the dividend comes under threat, and EC's integrated structure across exploration, refining, and transport creates multiple revenue streams rather than dependence on a single business line. Ecopetrol S.A. dividend safety is complicated, however, by the company's exposure to oil price cycles, which the historical data shows has already driven sharp year-over-year swings in per-share payments.
Ecopetrol S.A. dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.7% per year from 2008 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.5014 to $1.5116 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 311.3% in 2009, but the data also contains multiple years with declines exceeding 5%, so the long-run average masks significant year-to-year volatility.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -12.9% | $2.29 (2022) | $1.51 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +11.1% | $0.89 (2020) | $1.51 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -5.5% | $2.67 (2014) | $1.51 (2025) |
EC stock fits income-focused investors who can tolerate irregular annual payments in exchange for a moderate yield from a large integrated energy operator. The current yield of 3.83% sits just below the 5-year average of 3.94%, so the stock is priced close to its own historical norm. The payout ratio of 36.1% keeps the dividend well-covered at current earnings, but zero consecutive years of dividend increases means income is not predictable from one year to the next. The trade-off is clear: a moderate (2-4%) yield backed by a conservative payout, offset by a payment history that has swung sharply with oil market conditions.
