Mondelez International, Inc. dividend income comes from one of the world's largest snack companies, built on brands like Oreo, Cadbury, and Milka sold across more than a dozen global markets. MDLZ currently pays a 3.21% yield, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.00 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 30, 2026, with the last declared payment at $0.52 per share. A beta of 0.404 points to low price volatility, which suits income-focused investors who prioritize a steady payout over capital swings.
Mondelez International, Inc. pays out 72.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is supported by demand for everyday snack products, including biscuits, chocolates, and candies sold through a broad global retail network spanning supermarkets, convenience stores, and e-commerce platforms. Mondelez International, Inc. dividend safety is the main question at this payout level, and the primary pressure point is that there is limited room to absorb an earnings decline before the dividend would require adjustment.
Mondelez International, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 3.5% per year from 2010 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $1.16 to $1.94 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from the growth calculation). Growth has been unbroken since 2014, with 11 consecutive years of increases, though the pace is slow. The data window does contain at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which occurred in the early part of the history.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +9.7% | $1.47 (2022) | $1.94 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +10.1% | $1.20 (2020) | $1.94 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +11.7% | $0.64 (2015) | $1.94 (2025) |
MDLZ fits income-focused investors who want a globally diversified snack business with a moderate, recurring yield. At 3.21%, the current yield sits above its 5-year average of 2.61%, meaning today's entry point delivers more income than the historical norm. The trade-off is a payout ratio of 72.3%, which is elevated and leaves less cushion than lower-payout dividend payers. Growth runs at 3.5% per year, which is slow but unbroken over 11 consecutive years. The yield classification is moderate (2–4%), so this is not a high-income play. What an investor gets is a low-volatility stock with a yield above its own historical average, offset by a payout ratio that limits flexibility.
