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 1.52%, paying $1.16 per share annually in quarterly installments, with the next ex-dividend date on October 19, 2026. The last quarterly payment was $0.2950 per share. With a beta of 0.91, GGG stock moves slightly less than the broader market, which suits dividend investors who prioritize lower volatility over maximum yield.
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 systems for industrial, contractor, and process markets supports demand across multiple end-use sectors. The most data-supported pressure point for Graco Inc. dividend safety is the historical record: the annual dividend table shows a year-over-year decline in the available window, which means the payout has not been immune to cuts in the past.
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 period (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 accelerating growth in stronger years, even if the long-run average is modest.
| 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 | +10.6% | $0.40 (2015) | $1.10 (2025) |
GGG stock fits dividend investors who value a low, well-covered payout over a high current yield. The yield sits at 1.52%, classified as low (below 2%), and the 2.1% annual dividend growth rate over 15 years means income compounds slowly. The 35.4% payout ratio is the clearest strength here: it keeps the dividend well-protected without stretching the balance sheet. What an investor gets is a conservatively managed payout from a diversified industrial business. What they give up is meaningful current income and fast dividend growth.
