The Home Depot, Inc. dividend comes from the largest home improvement retailer in the United States, serving both DIY homeowners and professional contractors across building materials, flooring, and tool rental. The current yield stands at 3.21%, with trailing twelve-month payments of $4.63 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 3, 2026. HD stock carries a beta of 0.999, making it a near market-neutral holding for dividend investors who want cyclical exposure without amplified volatility.
The Home Depot, Inc. pays out 64.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). HD serves a broad base of professional contractors, homebuilders, and property managers alongside retail consumers, which supports demand across its product categories including installation services and maintenance, repair, and operations products. The Home Depot, Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from that payout level: at 64.8%, there is limited room to absorb an earnings decline before the dividend would require reassessment. Consumer cyclical exposure adds another layer, as home improvement spending tends to contract when housing activity slows.
Over the past 14 years, The Home Depot, Inc. dividend history shows a compound annual growth rate (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 the CAGR 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 want a moderate yield paired with a long history of annual increases. The current yield of 3.21% sits above the 5-year average of 2.39%, which means today's entry point delivers more income than the stock has historically offered. The moderate (2–4%) yield classification reflects a stock that prioritizes growth over immediate income. The 23-year streak of consecutive increases is the defining characteristic here. The trade-off is a 64.8% payout ratio that leaves less cushion than lower-yielding peers, and the 2025 increase of just 2.2% signals that the era of double-digit annual raises has passed.
