H World Group Limited dividend stands out in the travel lodging sector, backed by a portfolio of over 8,000 hotels across China under brands like HanTing Hotel, JI Hotel, and Crystal Orange Hotel. The current yield is 4.98%, placing HTHT firmly in high-yield territory. The trailing annual dividend rate is $14.52 per share, paid annually, with the next ex-dividend date set for September 8, 2026. At a beta of 0.113, HTHT stock moves with very little correlation to broader market swings, which appeals to income investors prioritizing low volatility.
H World Group Limited pays out 92.1% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That level leaves a narrow margin for earnings softness, and H World Group Limited dividend safety depends heavily on the company's ability to sustain revenue across its leased, owned, manachised, and franchised hotel network in China. The most significant pressure point is the payout ratio itself: at 92.1%, any meaningful dip in hotel operating income would put the dividend under strain.
H World Group Limited dividend history shows a CAGR of 26.5% per year from 2015 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.17 to $1.78 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation, with H World Group Limited dividend 2026 data still incomplete). The largest annual increase in the window was 173.5% in 2023, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | +39.2% | $0.34 (2018) | $1.78 (2025) |
HTHT is a high-yield play within the travel lodging space, suited to dividend investors who can accept an elevated payout ratio in exchange for above-average income. The current yield of 4.98% is well above the 5-year average of 2.04%, which reflects how much the dividend has expanded relative to the share price. H World Group Limited carries only one consecutive year of dividend increases, so income investors get yield, not a long streak of unbroken growth. The trade-off is clear: the yield classification is high (above 4%), but a 92.1% payout ratio leaves little buffer if China's hotel market faces a downturn.
