Mondelez International, Inc. dividend income comes from one of the world's largest snack companies, behind brands like Oreo, Cadbury Dairy Milk, and Ritz. The current yield is 3.44%, paid quarterly, with trailing twelve-month payments totaling $2.00 per share. The next ex-dividend date is September 30, 2026. MDLZ carries a beta of 0.391, meaning its stock price moves far less than the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize price stability over growth.
Mondelez International, Inc. pays out 73.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is supported by demand for everyday snack products across global markets, including biscuits, chocolates, and gum sold through supermarkets, convenience stores, and e-retail platforms worldwide. The primary pressure on Mondelez International, Inc. dividend safety is that the payout ratio leaves limited room to absorb an earnings decline without forcing a reduction.
Mondelez International, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 3.5% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.16 to $1.94 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The dividend has increased for 11 consecutive years, and growth has been gradual rather than accelerating. That pace roughly tracks inflation, which means real income growth for MDLZ holders has been modest.
| 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) |
Mondelez International, Inc. fits income-focused investors who want a moderate yield from a globally recognized snack business with low price volatility. The current yield of 3.44% sits well above its 5-year average of 2.48%, making this a more attractive entry point on a yield basis than most of the past five years. The trade-off is a payout ratio in the elevated (60–75%) range and dividend growth of just 3.5% annually, which limits how fast income compounds over time. MDLZ offers yield and price calm, not dividend acceleration.
