Everest Re Group, Ltd. dividend has been a fixture in the reinsurance sector for over three decades, backed by a global operation spanning property and casualty reinsurance, specialty lines, and primary insurance across the U.S., Bermuda, Europe, and beyond. RE pays $8.00 per share annually, distributed quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on September 9, 2026. The current yield stands at 2.28%. With a beta of 0.61, RE stock moves well below the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize lower price volatility alongside a growing payout.
Everest Re Group, Ltd. pays out 16.9% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves a wide buffer between earnings and the dividend, supported by a business model built on underwriting property and casualty reinsurance and insurance across multiple geographies and product lines, from treaty and facultative reinsurance to professional liability and marine coverage. Everest Re Group, Ltd. dividend safety is reinforced by that low payout, though the company's exposure to catastrophic loss events, inherent in any property and casualty reinsurer, represents the most data-supported pressure point on future earnings.
Everest Re Group, Ltd. dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.7% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share payout grew from $1.92 to $8.00 over that span (2026 data is partial and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest single-year jump in the window was 46.1% in 2014, while the smallest annual increase was 0% in 2021, when the dividend held flat at $6.20 for the year.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +7.2% | $6.50 (2022) | $8.00 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +5.2% | $6.20 (2020) | $8.00 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +7.2% | $4.00 (2015) | $8.00 (2025) |
Everest Re Group, Ltd. fits dividend investors who want a growing payout from a globally diversified reinsurer, without chasing a high starting yield. The yield is moderate (2–4%) at 2.28%, sitting above the stock's own 5-year average of 2.01%, which means buyers today are getting slightly more income than the historical norm. RE is a Dividend Aristocrat with 28 consecutive years of dividend increases, a streak that reflects discipline across multiple underwriting cycles. The trade-off is straightforward: the 10.7% annual growth rate is the real story here, not the current income level, so investors who need high yield today will find RE stock underwhelming.
