The Home Depot, Inc. dividend is backed by one of the largest home improvement retail operations in the United States, serving both individual homeowners and professional contractors through more than 2,300 stores and platforms like homedepot.com. HD currently yields 2.59%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $9.26 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 4, 2026. With a beta of 0.974, HD stock moves nearly in line with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want income without extreme price swings.
The Home Depot, Inc. pays out 65.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is supported by a business model built around recurring demand from both homeowners and professional tradespeople, including contractors, plumbers, and property managers, who depend on HD for building materials, MRO supplies, and installation services. The Home Depot, Inc. dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from that payout ratio itself: at 65.6%, there is limited room to absorb an earnings decline before the dividend would require reassessment.
The Home Depot, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 16.8% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.04 to $9.20 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.2% in 2025, a notable step down from the pace that defined most of the prior decade.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +6.6% | $7.60 (2022) | $9.20 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +8.9% | $6.00 (2020) | $9.20 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +14.6% | $2.36 (2015) | $9.20 (2025) |
HD fits dividend investors who want a combination of meaningful income and a long growth streak, rather than a high starting yield. The current yield of 2.59% is moderate (2–4%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 2.28%, which means today's entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 23 consecutive years of dividend increases is the defining characteristic here. What an investor gets is a payer with a long, unbroken growth record tied to a business serving both consumer and professional demand. The trade-off is a payout ratio at 65.6%, which leaves less cushion than lower-payout peers, and a 2025 increase of just 2.2% that points to slowing growth momentum.
