Nokia Oyj dividend history spans nearly four decades, making it one of the longer-running payers in the communication equipment sector. The company builds mobile, fixed, and cloud network infrastructure across more than a dozen global markets, with products ranging from 5G radio access networks to fiber broadband and optical transport systems. NOKBF pays dividends quarterly, with a trailing annual rate of $0.14 per share and the next ex-dividend date set for July 27, 2026. At a beta of 0.735, NOKBF stock moves less than the broader market, which appeals to income investors who prioritize lower volatility over a high headline yield.
Nokia Oyj pays out 116.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That figure means the company is currently paying more in dividends than it earns, which is the most direct pressure point for Nokia Oyj dividend safety. The breadth of Nokia's business, spanning network infrastructure, mobile networks, cloud services, and patent licensing, provides multiple revenue streams, but a payout ratio above 100% leaves no earnings buffer if any segment underperforms.
Nokia Oyj dividend history shows a CAGR of -4.5% per year from 1999 to 2025. Per-share payments have fallen from $0.5228 at the start of the window to $0.1574 by 2025 (Nokia Oyj dividend 2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 89.8% in 2002, but the overall trend has been negative, and the history contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%. Three consecutive years of increases through 2025 represent a recent reversal, though growth is slow.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +37.1% | $0.06 (2022) | $0.16 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -6.6% | $0.22 (2018) | $0.16 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -2.4% | $0.20 (2012) | $0.16 (2025) |
NOKBF stock fits dividend investors who want exposure to global telecom infrastructure with below-market price swings, not those chasing high income. The yield sits at 1.57%, classified as low (below 2%), and runs below the 5-year average of 1.76%, so the current entry point does not improve on historical norms. The three-year streak of increases is a positive signal after a long period of cuts and volatility, but a payout ratio above 100% means that streak depends on earnings recovery, not surplus cash. Nokia Oyj offers a modest, slowly recovering dividend with a low-volatility profile. The trade-off is a below-average yield backed by a payout ratio that leaves little room for error.
