KB Financial Group Inc. dividend comes from one of South Korea's largest financial institutions, spanning banking, insurance, brokerage, and consumer finance across multiple countries. The current yield is 2.69%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4,833.00 per share paid on a quarterly schedule. The next ex-dividend date is August 6, 2026. With a beta of 0.654, KB stock moves less than the broader market, which appeals to income investors who prioritize lower volatility over maximum yield.
KB Financial Group Inc. pays out 26.9% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to maintain or grow the dividend even if earnings from its core banking, insurance, and consumer finance operations face pressure. KB Financial Group Inc. dividend safety benefits from this wide earnings cushion, though the dividend history does show year-over-year declines in multiple periods, which means the payout has not been immune to business cycle swings.
KB Financial Group Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.8% per year from 2005 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.5613 to $2.5136 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 590.9% in 2006, and the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.0% | $2.23 (2022) | $2.51 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +9.9% | $1.57 (2020) | $2.51 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +11.5% | $0.85 (2015) | $2.51 (2025) |
KB Financial Group Inc. fits dividend investors who want moderate income from a diversified financial services business with a conservative payout structure. The current yield of 2.69% falls in the moderate (2-4%) range, and it sits below the 5-year average yield of 4.0%, meaning today's buyers are getting less income than the historical norm. The 26.9% payout ratio is the real strength here: it keeps the dividend well-covered. The trade-off is that KB stock has zero consecutive years of dividend increases, and the history includes multiple down years, so income predictability is not guaranteed by the data.
