Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. dividend has been paid every quarter for decades, backed by a global professional services business spanning risk management, insurance brokerage, and consulting. The current yield is 2.02%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.69 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is October 1, 2026. With a beta of 0.752, MMC stock moves less than the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize lower volatility over maximum yield.
Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. pays out just 1.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That extraordinarily low figure means earnings cover the dividend many times over, supported by a business that serves businesses, governments, and insurers across risk advisory, reinsurance brokerage, and human capital consulting. Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. dividend safety has no obvious near-term threat from the payout ratio itself, though the company operates in professional services where client retention and fee revenue drive earnings, and any broad contraction in corporate spending could pressure that base.
Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.4% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.86 to $3.43 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 4.7% in 2012, while the largest reached 17.3% in 2024. Twenty consecutive years of increases is the streak that matters here. That kind of growth rate, sustained over 14 years, means the dividend has roughly quadrupled in real dollar terms.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +15.1% | $2.25 (2022) | $3.43 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +13.3% | $1.84 (2020) | $3.43 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +11.3% | $1.18 (2015) | $3.43 (2025) |
MMC stock fits dividend investors who want a growing payout from a large, diversified professional services business rather than a high current income. The yield sits at 2.02%, which falls in the moderate (2–4%) range and runs above the 5-year average of 1.46%, meaning today's entry yield is historically elevated for this stock. The payout ratio of 1.7% leaves enormous room for future increases. The trade-off is straightforward: the current income is modest, but the 10.4% annual dividend growth rate over 14 years has compounded the per-share payment substantially for long-term holders.
