Oracle Corporation dividend investors get exposure to one of the world's largest enterprise software businesses, built around cloud infrastructure, the Oracle Database, and the Fusion Cloud suite of ERP and HCM applications. ORCL currently yields 1.46%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.00 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is October 9, 2026. At a beta of 1.732, this is not a low-volatility income play, making it better suited to growth-and-income investors comfortable with price swings in exchange for fast dividend growth.
Oracle Corporation pays out 31.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings face pressure, and ORCL's business model, anchored in subscription-based cloud services and long-term enterprise license support contracts, generates recurring demand that supports the current payment level. The most significant data-supported pressure on Oracle Corporation dividend safety is the stock's elevated beta of 1.732, which reflects meaningful earnings volatility that could, in a severe downturn, compress the earnings base the payout depends on.
Oracle Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 16.2% per year from 2010 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.20 to $1.90 over that window (2026 is a partial year at $2.00 and is excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 5.3% in 2016, which shows that even in slower years, ORCL did not freeze the dividend. Twelve consecutive years of increases back that pattern.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +14.1% | $1.28 (2022) | $1.90 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +14.6% | $0.96 (2020) | $1.90 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +12.8% | $0.57 (2015) | $1.90 (2025) |
ORCL fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising income stream from an enterprise technology business rather than a high starting yield. The current yield of 1.46% is low (below 2%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 1.09%, which means the stock is offering more income relative to price than it has historically. The 31.4% payout ratio leaves room for continued increases, and a 16.2% annualized growth rate over 15 years is the defining characteristic here. The trade-off is clear: income today is modest, and a beta of 1.732 means the stock price moves sharply. What an investor gets is a fast-growing dividend from a scaled cloud and database business; what they accept is low current income and above-average price volatility.
