Lonza Group AG dividend reflects the company's position as a contract development and manufacturing organization serving pharma and biotech clients across biologics, small molecules, and cell and gene therapies. The current yield stands at 0.93%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $5.00 per share paid annually. The next ex-dividend date is May 12, 2026. With a beta of 0.811, LZAGF stock moves with less volatility than the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who prioritize capital stability over high current income.
Lonza Group AG pays out 32.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout reflects the capital demands of running a global CDMO platform spanning biologics manufacturing, antibody-drug conjugate production, and cell and gene technologies, leaving meaningful earnings retained for operations. Lonza Group AG dividend safety is further supported by the breadth of its service segments, though the history table does show at least one year-over-year dividend decline, which means the payout has not been immune to pressure in the past.
Lonza Group AG dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.4% per year from 2010 to 2024. Per-share payments grew from $1.6329 to $4.4076 over that period (2025 and 2026 figures are partial years and excluded from the rate calculation). The window also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear, and the largest single-year jump was 47.5% in 2011.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -7.6% | $3.02 (2022) | $2.38 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -3.5% | $2.84 (2020) | $2.38 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -0.7% | $2.55 (2015) | $2.38 (2025) |
LZAGF stock fits dividend investors who value earnings retention and low volatility over high current income. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at 0.93% today versus a 5-year average of 0.65%, so the current yield is actually above its own recent norm. The 32.3% payout ratio leaves the dividend well covered, and the 7.4% annual growth rate over 14 years shows the payment has expanded meaningfully in absolute terms. The trade-off is straightforward: income today is modest, but the payout has room to grow and is not stretched. Lonza Group AG suits investors who are comfortable accepting a low starting yield in exchange for a conservatively funded dividend from a global CDMO business.
