Fox Corporation dividend income comes from one of the most recognizable names in U.S. news and sports media, built around FOX News, FS1, and the FOX broadcast network. The current yield is 0.98%, paid semi-annually, with the last dividend of $0.29 per share and the next ex-dividend date set for September 2, 2026. On a trailing twelve-month basis, FOX has paid $0.57 per share. With a beta of 0.592, this is a lower-volatility media stock, which suits dividend investors who prioritize price steadiness over yield size.
Fox Corporation pays out 17.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves substantial room to maintain the current payment even if earnings face pressure, and the company's diversified revenue base across cable networks, broadcast television, and the ad-supported streaming service Tubi provides multiple income streams supporting that payout. Fox Corporation dividend safety faces its most visible pressure from the ongoing shift away from traditional cable, which directly affects the Cable Network Programming segment that houses FOX News and FS1.
Fox Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 3.0% per year from 2019 to 2025. The per-share payment grew from $0.46 to $0.55 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 4.3% in 2022, while the smallest was 0% in 2020, when the dividend held flat year-over-year. Growth is slow, and at 3.0% annually, it barely keeps pace with typical inflation.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +3.9% | $0.49 (2022) | $0.55 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +3.6% | $0.46 (2020) | $0.55 (2025) |
FOX fits dividend investors who want low volatility and a well-covered payout rather than a high yield. The yield is low (below 2%) at 0.98%, though it sits above the 5-year average of 0.87%, meaning current buyers are getting slightly more income than the historical norm. The 17.0% payout ratio is one of the most conservative in the sector, which means the dividend is well-protected but also means Fox Corporation is not prioritizing income distribution. The trade-off is clear: investors get a durable, growing payment backed by major media brands, but accept a yield that will not move the needle for income-focused portfolios.
