The Procter & Gamble Company dividend is backed by one of the most recognizable consumer product portfolios in the world, spanning brands like Tide, Pampers, Gillette, and Crest. PG currently yields 2.93%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4.2906 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is July 24, 2026, with the last payment of $1.0885 per share. A beta of 0.377 marks this as a low-volatility stock, which suits income investors who prioritize price steadiness alongside a regular payout.
The Procter & Gamble Company pays out 63.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is supported by demand for everyday essentials across P&G's five divisions, from laundry detergents and baby care to oral hygiene and over-the-counter health products, categories where consumer spending tends to hold up regardless of economic conditions. The Procter & Gamble Company dividend safety is not under immediate pressure, but a payout ratio above 60% leaves less room to absorb an earnings decline without affecting the dividend.
The Procter & Gamble Company dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.2% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $2.0568 to $4.1769 over that period (2026 data is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 1.5% in 2016, while the largest reached 9.0% in 2021. Growth is real but uneven, and at 5.2% annually, income investors get a dividend that outpaces modest inflation without delivering outsized acceleration.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +5.0% | $3.61 (2022) | $4.18 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +6.0% | $3.12 (2020) | $4.18 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +4.7% | $2.63 (2015) | $4.18 (2025) |
PG fits dividend investors who want a moderate, recurring income stream from a business selling products people buy every week. The current yield of 2.93% sits above the 5-year average of 2.58%, meaning today's entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The yield classification is moderate (2–4%), which means this is not a high-income play. What investors get is a 22-year streak of consecutive increases, a low-volatility stock with a beta of 0.377, and a dividend growing at 5.2% annually. The trade-off is a payout ratio of 63.8%, which limits how aggressively P&G can accelerate future increases.
