Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) dividend comes from one of the world's largest suppliers of telecom infrastructure, serving carriers across more than eight global regions. ERIC pays $2.92 per share on a trailing annual basis, with the next ex-dividend date set for September 29, 2026. The current yield stands at 3.01%. With a beta of 0.521, ERIC stock moves at roughly half the volatility of the broader market, which suits income-focused investors who want telecom exposure without sharp price swings.
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) pays out 40.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer, and the company's mix of Networks hardware, Digital Services software, and Managed Services contracts spans a broad base of telecom operator clients globally. Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) dividend safety benefits from that diversification, though the history table shows at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which means the payout has not been immune to pressure in the past.
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) dividend history shows a CAGR of 0.4% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments moved from $0.2776 to $0.2938 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR). The largest annual increase in the window was 47.5% in 2020, but that spike followed a period of sharp cuts, so it reflects recovery rather than sustained momentum. Growth is slow, and income investors relying on meaningful annual raises will not find that here.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +6.0% | $0.25 (2022) | $0.29 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +13.1% | $0.16 (2020) | $0.29 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -2.8% | $0.39 (2015) | $0.29 (2025) |
ERIC stock fits income-focused investors who want moderate yield from a global telecom infrastructure business and can accept minimal dividend growth. The current yield of 3.01% sits above the 5-year average of 2.54%, meaning today's entry point offers more income than the historical norm. The trade-off is a 0.4% annual growth rate over 15 years, which barely keeps pace with inflation. The moderate (2-4%) yield classification and a 40.2% payout ratio point to a dividend that is covered but not expanding quickly. Six consecutive years of increases show recent discipline, yet the history includes past cuts, so this is not a set-and-forget income name.
