About Alphabet Inc. Dividend

Alphabet Inc. pays a quarterly dividend, making the Alphabet Inc. dividend a relatively new feature for one of the world's largest technology companies. The current yield sits at 0.24%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.85 per share. The next ex-dividend date is June 8, 2026. With a beta of 1.237, GOOG stock carries above-average market sensitivity, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than pure income seekers.

Dividend Safety

Alphabet Inc. pays out just 6.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves an enormous buffer, and the breadth of GOOG's business, spanning Search, YouTube, Google Cloud, and Android, points to diversified revenue streams that support the current payout level. The primary risk to Alphabet Inc. dividend safety is not the payout ratio itself but the company's short dividend history: with only three years of payments on record, there is limited data to assess behavior through a full market cycle.

Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Alphabet Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 38.3% per year from 2024 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend rose from $0.60 to $0.83 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 38.3% in 2025, which is also the only full-year increase on record.

Is Alphabet Inc. a Good Dividend Stock?

GOOG stock fits growth-and-income investors who want dividend growth and are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for it. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 0.24%, and no 5-year average yield exists to benchmark against given the dividend's short history. What the stock offers is a 38.3% one-year growth rate and a 6.3% payout ratio that leaves substantial room for future increases. The trade-off is straightforward: Alphabet Inc. delivers rapid dividend growth from a very low starting yield, with almost no income in the near term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does Alphabet Inc. pay dividends?

Alphabet Inc. pays dividends quarterly. The last dividend amount was $0.22 per share, with the next ex-dividend date set for June 8, 2026.

What is Alphabet Inc.'s current dividend yield?

The current Alphabet Inc. dividend yield is 0.24%. No 5-year average yield is available for comparison, as the company only began paying dividends in 2024.

Has Alphabet Inc. ever cut its dividend?

No dividend cut appears in the available history window, which runs from 2024 to 2025. The 2026 data is a partial year and does not reflect a cut.

How fast has Alphabet Inc. grown its dividend?

Alphabet Inc. has grown its dividend at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.3% per year from 2024 to 2025. That covers the only complete year of dividend history currently available.

Is Alphabet Inc. dividend safe?

The 6.3% payout ratio is conservative (below 40%), which means the current dividend is well covered by earnings. The main limitation is the short history: only one full year of payments exists, so there is little data on how GOOG manages its dividend under pressure.

What type of investor is Alphabet Inc. best suited for?

GOOG stock suits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield. The 0.24% yield provides minimal near-term income, but the 38.3% one-year growth rate and 6.3% payout ratio appeal to investors focused on long-run dividend expansion.

Why is Alphabet Inc. dividend yield low?

The yield is low because the annual dividend of $0.85 per share is a small fraction of the stock's price, and the payout ratio of 6.3% reflects a company retaining the vast majority of its earnings. Alphabet Inc. only initiated its dividend in 2024, so the yield starts from a modest base.
