Graco Inc. dividend income comes from a Minneapolis-based industrial machinery company that engineers fluid and powder handling systems used across construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas markets. GGG currently yields 1.49%, paying $1.16 per share annually in quarterly installments, with the next ex-dividend date on July 20, 2026. The last quarterly payment was $0.2950 per share. With a beta of 0.91, Graco Inc. stock moves slightly below the broader market, which appeals to dividend investors who prioritize lower volatility over high current income.
Graco Inc. pays out 35.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings soften, and Graco's broad product portfolio spanning fluid handling, chemical injection, and automatic lubrication systems serves diverse end markets that spread demand risk. Graco Inc. dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from the cyclical nature of industrial machinery demand, where a broad slowdown in manufacturing or construction activity could compress earnings and tighten that cushion.
Graco Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.1% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.80 to $1.10 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 11.9% in 2022, showing that GGG is capable of acceleration, but the long-run average keeps growth slow.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +9.4% | $0.84 (2022) | $1.10 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +9.5% | $0.70 (2020) | $1.10 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -0.9% | $1.20 (2015) | $1.10 (2025) |
Graco Inc. suits dividend investors who value a low payout ratio and below-market volatility over high current income. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at 1.49% today versus a 5-year average of 1.19%, so the current yield is modestly above its own historical norm. Seven consecutive years of dividend increases show a commitment to growth, but at 2.1% per year on average, that growth barely keeps pace with inflation. What an investor gets here is a conservatively run industrial business with a well-covered dividend and limited downside risk to the payout. The trade-off is a yield that delivers modest income rather than meaningful cash flow.
