Ecopetrol S.A. dividend income comes from one of Latin America's largest integrated oil and gas companies, founded in 1948 and headquartered in Bogota, Colombia. EC operates across exploration and production, transportation and logistics, and refining and petrochemicals, with products ranging from crude oil and natural gas to motor fuels. The current yield stands at 3.76%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2,033.22 per share. A beta of 0.537 points to below-average price volatility, which appeals to dividend investors who want energy exposure without the full swing of the sector.
Ecopetrol S.A. pays out 52.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer of retained earnings, and Ecopetrol S.A. dividend safety is supported by the company's integrated structure spanning production, pipelines, and refining, which spreads revenue across multiple segments. The most significant pressure point is oil and gas price volatility: the dividend history shows multiple years of sharp declines, including a drop from $3.36 per share in 2012 to $0.16 in 2017, which reflects how directly EC's payout tracks commodity cycles.
Ecopetrol S.A. dividend history shows a CAGR of 12.2% per year from 2008 to 2023. Per-share payments grew from $0.50 in 2008 to $2.81 in 2023 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 311.3% in 2009. However, the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the 12.2% CAGR reflects a volatile path, not a straight line upward.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -22.2% | $2.18 (2022) | $1.03 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +2.8% | $0.89 (2020) | $1.03 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -9.1% | $2.67 (2014) | $1.03 (2025) |
EC stock fits dividend investors who can tolerate commodity-driven income swings in exchange for a moderate yield and a below-average beta. The current yield of 3.76% sits well below the 5-year average of 8.9%, which means income at the current entry point is materially lower than what longer-term holders have received. The yield classification is moderate (2–4%), and the 52.5% payout ratio keeps the dividend from looking stretched on paper. What an investor gets here is energy-sector income with relatively low price volatility. What they accept is a payout that has historically moved sharply with oil prices, with no consecutive years of dividend increases to anchor expectations.
