Kinross Gold Corporation dividend reflects a gold mining business with operations spanning the United States, Brazil, Ghana, and beyond. KGC currently pays a 0.6% yield, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.1450 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is May 21, 2026, with the last dividend amount at $0.0400 per share. At a beta of 1.348, KGC stock carries above-average price volatility, making it a better fit for investors focused on growth exposure to gold than on steady income.
Kinross Gold Corporation pays out 5.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That figure leaves substantial room between earnings and the dividend obligation, which is the primary support for the current payout level. Kinross Gold Corporation dividend safety faces its most meaningful pressure from gold price volatility, since the company's revenue depends directly on mining and selling gold and silver across multiple international jurisdictions.
Kinross Gold Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.7% per year from 2008 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.0800 to $0.1250 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 45.5% in 2012, though 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 | +1.4% | $0.12 (2022) | $0.13 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +15.8% | $0.06 (2020) | $0.13 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +3.3% | $0.09 (2009) | $0.13 (2025) |
KGC fits dividend investors who want exposure to gold mining and are comfortable accepting a low income yield in exchange for a very conservative payout structure. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 0.6%, which is only modestly above the 5-year average of 0.5%. Five consecutive years of dividend increases show a recent commitment to growth, but at 2.7% annual CAGR since 2008, that growth is slow. What an investor gets is a well-covered dividend with minimal payout risk. What they give up is meaningful income.
