Newmont Corporation dividend investors are working with a gold miner that operates across four continents, with 92.8 million ounces of proven and probable gold reserves as of end-2021. NEM currently pays $1.02 per share annually, with dividends distributed quarterly and the next ex-dividend date set for September 3, 2026. The current yield sits at 0.8%. With a beta of 0.5, NEM stock moves at roughly half the volatility of the broader market, which suits investors who prioritize capital preservation alongside modest income.
Newmont Corporation pays out 12.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low retention of earnings relative to the dividend leaves substantial room to absorb earnings pressure, which matters in a cyclical industry like gold mining where revenues move with commodity prices. Newmont Corporation dividend safety is most at risk from gold price swings, since the company's income depends directly on the value of the metal it extracts rather than on recurring or subscription-based revenue.
Newmont Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.9% per year from 2006 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.40 to $1.00 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 157.1% in 2019, but the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which reflects the commodity-driven nature of NEM's business.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -23.1% | $2.20 (2022) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -0.8% | $1.04 (2020) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +25.9% | $0.10 (2015) | $1.00 (2025) |
NEM fits dividend investors who want exposure to gold mining without extreme income expectations. The yield is low (below 2%), and at 0.8% it sits meaningfully below the 5-year average of 1.25%, so income alone is not the draw here. The 12.8% payout ratio means the dividend consumes very little of earnings, which keeps it defensible even through commodity downturns. What an investor gets is a low-volatility gold miner with a modest, well-covered dividend. The trade-off is a yield that delivers limited current income, and a growth rate of 4.9% annually that is real but slow.
