The Home Depot, Inc. pays out 64.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). HD serves a broad customer base spanning homeowners, general contractors, electricians, plumbers, and property managers, which supports demand across its building materials, MRO supplies, and installation services. The Home Depot, Inc. dividend safety faces its main pressure point from that payout level: at 64.8%, there is limited room to absorb an earnings decline before the dividend comes under strain.
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 sharp deceleration from the 34.5% peak increase recorded in 2013.
| 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 prioritize growth over maximum current income. The yield is moderate (2–4%) at 2.76%, sitting above the stock's own 5-year average of 2.43%, which means today's entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 16.8% annualized dividend growth over 14 years is the defining trait here, though the 2025 increase of just 2.2% signals that pace is slowing. The payout ratio at 64.8% is elevated, so the trade-off is a dividend that has grown fast but now has less financial headroom than it once did.
