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 Consumer & Wealth Management. GS currently yields 1.73%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $18.00 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 1, 2026. At 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 earnings retained within the business, which spans fee-generating divisions like Investment Banking and Asset Management alongside trading-oriented Global Markets operations. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. dividend safety is supported by that earnings cushion, though the firm's revenue is tied to capital markets activity, which can be cyclical and compress earnings during downturns.
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. That range shows the pace of increases has varied considerably 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 stock fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.73% today, and the 5-year average yield of 0.99% shows the current yield is actually above its own recent norm, reflecting how far the per-share dividend has climbed. The 29.2% payout ratio keeps the dividend well-covered. What an investor gets here is a fast-growing dividend backed by a diversified global financial services business. The trade-off is a starting yield that delivers limited near-term income, paired with a beta above 1.28 that brings meaningful price swings.
