NIKE, Inc. dividend income comes from one of the world's most recognized athletic brands, spanning footwear, apparel, and accessories sold under names like Nike, Converse, and Jumpman. The current yield sits at 4.58%, above the high-yield threshold for income-focused investors. NKE pays quarterly, with a trailing annual rate of $1.64 per share and the next ex-dividend date set for September 1, 2026. A beta of 1.11 means NKE stock moves slightly more than the broader market, which matters for income investors who expect price stability alongside their dividend.
NIKE, Inc. pays out 77.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That level leaves a narrower buffer than most dividend investors prefer, though NKE operates across a globally diversified product catalog, including performance gear, licensed sports apparel, and e-commerce channels, which supports ongoing revenue generation. NIKE, Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from that elevated payout ratio: if earnings contract, there is limited room to absorb the hit without affecting the dividend.
NIKE, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.9% per year from 2009 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.02 to $1.61 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 16.3% in 2012, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear. At 2.9% annually, dividend growth barely keeps pace with typical inflation, which limits real income gains over time.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +8.7% | $1.25 (2022) | $1.61 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +9.8% | $1.01 (2020) | $1.61 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +10.7% | $0.58 (2015) | $1.61 (2025) |
NKE stock fits income-focused investors who want a high current yield from a globally recognized consumer brand. At 4.58%, the yield sits well above its own 5-year average of 3.85%, which reflects the stock's recent price pressure rather than an acceleration in dividend growth. The 9-year streak of consecutive increases shows commitment to the dividend, but a 77.4% payout ratio classified as high (above 4% yield, high payout) means the income comes with a trade-off: limited room for dividend growth and reduced cushion if earnings soften. What an investor gets here is above-average current income; what they accept is slow growth and an elevated payout.
NKE is a Dividend Aristocrat with 34 consecutive years of dividend increases.
