About GE Aerospace Dividend

GE Aerospace manufactures jet engines and propulsion systems for commercial, military, and business aviation, and its GE Aerospace dividend currently yields 0.45%. The trailing annual dividend rate stands at $1.66 per share, paid quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on July 6, 2026. GE stock carries a beta of 1.366, meaning it moves more sharply than the broader market. That volatility profile makes GE a better fit for growth-oriented dividend investors than those seeking steady income.

Dividend Safety

GE Aerospace pays out 18.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings face pressure, which is meaningful given that GE Aerospace dividend safety rests on a business tied to cyclical aviation demand across both commercial and defense segments. The most significant data-supported risk is that beta of 1.366: earnings in aerospace can swing with economic cycles, and a sharp downturn in commercial aviation demand could compress the earnings base that currently makes the payout look comfortable.

GE Aerospace (GE) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

GE Aerospace dividend history shows a CAGR of -7.2% per year from 2007 to 2025. The per-share dividend fell from $5.5114 to $1.44 over that window (with 2026 a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 338.9% in 2024, reflecting a recovery from years of deep cuts rather than organic growth. Growth is uneven, and the long-term trend is negative.

GE Aerospace Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
5-Year	+48.5%	$0.20 (2020)	$1.44 (2025)
10-Year	-10.6%	$4.41 (2015)	$1.44 (2025)

Is GE Aerospace a Good Dividend Stock?

GE Aerospace stock fits dividend investors who are primarily buying the business for growth and are willing to accept a low current income stream. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at just 0.45% today, well above the 5-year average of 0.18% but still far below what income-focused investors typically require. Six consecutive years of dividend increases show a rebuilding pattern after a prolonged period of cuts, but the long-term CAGR of -7.2% is a real trade-off. What an investor gets is a conservative 18.2% payout ratio and exposure to jet engine demand across commercial and defense aviation. What they give up is meaningful income.
