At a beta of 1.433, NTAP stock carries above-average price volatility, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than those seeking a steady, low-risk income stream.
NetApp, Inc. pays out 32.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves a wide buffer between earnings and the dividend obligation, and the company's broad portfolio of data management software and cloud storage services spans multiple industries globally, supporting demand across its Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud segments. NetApp, Inc. dividend safety faces its most data-supported pressure from the stock's beta of 1.433, which reflects meaningful earnings sensitivity to broader market swings that could narrow that buffer in a downturn.
NetApp, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 11.5% per year from 2014 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.63 in 2014 to $2.08 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 53.8% in 2018, while growth has slowed noticeably in recent years, with only a $0.04 increase from 2024 to 2025.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +1.3% | $2.00 (2022) | $2.08 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +1.6% | $1.92 (2020) | $2.08 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +11.7% | $0.69 (2015) | $2.08 (2025) |
NTAP stock fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising dividend from a company operating across cloud and data infrastructure markets, and who are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for a decade-plus of uninterrupted increases. The yield sits at 1.08%, classified as low (below 2%), and is only marginally above the 5-year average of 1.05%, so current income is limited. The 32.4% payout ratio keeps the dividend well-covered. The trade-off is clear: eleven consecutive years of increases and an 11.5% CAGR come with a yield that delivers little immediate income.
