EOG Resources, Inc. pays a dividend backed by crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas production across the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, and international markets. The EOG Resources, Inc. dividend currently yields 2.85%, with a trailing annual rate of $4.08 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is October 16, 2026, with the most recent quarterly payment at $1.02 per share. A beta of 0.278 points to low price volatility relative to the broader market, which appeals to income investors who want energy exposure without sharp swings.
EOG Resources, Inc. pays out 31.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low retention of earnings means the company keeps the large majority of profits available to cover operations and reinvestment in its exploration and production business. EOG Resources, Inc. dividend safety is supported by that wide earnings cushion, though as an oil and gas producer, revenue is tied to commodity prices, which can fall sharply and pressure the earnings base that underpins the payout.
EOG Resources, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 13.4% per year from 2008 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.465 in 2008 to $3.945 in 2025 (with 2026 partial at $4.08 per share so far). The largest annual increase in the window was 226.5% in 2021, reflecting a dramatic acceleration in payouts. 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 | -23.5% | $8.80 (2022) | $3.94 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +22.8% | $1.41 (2020) | $3.94 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +19.4% | $0.67 (2015) | $3.94 (2025) |
EOG stock fits dividend investors who want moderate income from an energy producer with a low payout ratio and a long payment history. The current yield of 2.85% sits in the moderate (2-4%) range, and it runs below the 5-year average yield of 3.74%, meaning buyers today are getting less income relative to price than the historical norm. The 31.7% payout ratio is the defining strength here: it leaves substantial room to sustain or grow the dividend even if commodity prices soften. The trade-off is that yield is not high, and with only one consecutive year of increases, income investors who prioritize unbroken annual growth will find the record thin.
