HEICO Corporation dividend income is minimal by design: the aerospace and defense manufacturer pays $0.25 per share annually, translating to a yield of just 0.08%. HEI operates through two core divisions, supplying FAA-approved replacement parts for jet engines via its Flight Support Group and delivering advanced electronic systems through its Electronic Technologies Group. Payments are semi-annual, with the most recent dividend of $0.13 per share and the next ex-dividend date set for July 1, 2026. With a beta of 1.038, HEI stock tracks closely with the broader market, making it a fit for investors who prioritize long-term business quality over near-term income.
HEICO Corporation pays out 4.1% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That figure is exceptionally low, meaning the company retains the vast majority of earnings, which the business description shows are generated across aviation, defense, space, and medical markets with demand for essential components like jet engine parts and emergency locator beacons. HEICO Corporation dividend safety benefits from this broad customer base, though the company's exposure to aerospace and defense spending means any contraction in those end markets would be the most direct pressure on earnings that support the payout.
HEICO Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.0% per year from 2008 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.10 to $0.23 over that window (with 2026 partial at $0.25 so far, per HEICO Corporation dividend 2026 data). The history table also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been uninterrupted. Six consecutive years of increases run through the current period, and the largest single-year jump in the window was 1,783.3% in 2012, which reflects an unusually low base rather than a sustained acceleration.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +8.5% | $0.18 (2022) | $0.23 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.5% | $0.16 (2020) | $0.23 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +11.6% | $0.08 (2015) | $0.23 (2025) |
HEI stock fits dividend investors who are primarily drawn to the underlying business rather than current income. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at 0.08% today, above the 5-year average of 0.06% but still negligible as an income source. The 4.1% payout ratio means the dividend consumes almost nothing of earnings, which keeps it secure but also limits how much income the stock generates. Six consecutive years of increases show a commitment to growing the payment, and the 5.0% CAGR over 17 years is real but modest. The trade-off is straightforward: an investor in HEICO Corporation gets a well-covered, growing dividend from a company serving essential aerospace and defense markets, but accepts that income generation is not the primary return driver here.
