Lam Research Corporation dividend pays $1.04 per share annually, yielding just 0.34% at current prices. LRCX supplies semiconductor processing equipment, including etch tools like Flex and Kiyo, and deposition systems used in integrated circuit manufacturing worldwide. Dividends are paid quarterly, with the last payment of $0.33 per share and the next ex-dividend date set for September 23, 2026. With a beta of 1.865, this is a high-volatility technology stock that fits investors prioritizing dividend growth over current income.
Lam Research Corporation pays out 17.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings face pressure, which is relevant given the cyclical nature of semiconductor equipment demand. The most significant data-supported risk to Lam Research Corporation dividend safety is the stock's high beta of 1.865, reflecting earnings sensitivity to semiconductor industry cycles that could compress the earnings base supporting the payout.
Lam Research Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 22.1% per year from 2015 to 2024. Per-share dividends grew from $1.08 to $6.53 over that window (2025 and 2026 figures are partial years and excluded from the CAGR). The largest annual increase in the window was 105.4% in 2018, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | -27.5% | $4.90 (2020) | $0.98 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -1.0% | $1.08 (2015) | $0.98 (2025) |
LRCX fits growth-and-income investors who want dividend expansion from a semiconductor equipment supplier and can tolerate a low current yield. At 0.34%, the yield is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits well below the 5-year average yield of 1.79%, meaning buyers today receive far less current income than the historical norm. The trade-off is a 22.1% annualized growth rate over nine years, which is exceptional for any sector. What an investor gains is rapid dividend compounding from a conservatively run payout; what they accept is minimal near-term income and meaningful price volatility.
