The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. dividend comes from one of the world's most recognized financial services firms, spanning investment banking, global markets, asset management, and wealth management. GS currently pays $18.00 per share annually, with a quarterly frequency and an upcoming ex-dividend date of September 1, 2026. The current yield stands at 1.92%. With a beta of 1.283, GS stock carries above-average price volatility, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than those seeking steady, low-risk income.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. pays out 29.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to maintain or grow the dividend even if earnings soften, and GS generates revenue across four diversified business lines including investment banking, global markets, and asset management. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. dividend safety faces its most meaningful pressure from the firm's exposure to capital markets activity, which is cyclical by nature and can compress earnings during periods of reduced deal flow or market volatility.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 17.9% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.40 to $14.00 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2016, while the largest reached 38.5% in 2022, showing that the pace of growth has been far from uniform year to year.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +15.9% | $9.00 (2022) | $14.00 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +22.9% | $5.00 (2020) | $14.00 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +18.6% | $2.55 (2015) | $14.00 (2025) |
GS fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising dividend stream from a diversified financial services business and are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for it. At 1.92%, the yield is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits well above the 5-year average yield of 1.1%, which reflects how much the per-share dividend has grown relative to the stock price over time. The trade-off is straightforward: the 17.9% annual dividend CAGR is exceptional, but the current income on each dollar invested remains modest. Investors who prioritize today's income over long-term dividend growth will find GS stock a poor match.
