ResMed Inc. dividend investors are looking at a medical technology company that makes CPAP devices, ventilators, and cloud-based patient management software like AirView and myAir. RMD currently yields 1.08%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.46 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 20, 2026. A beta of 0.766 means RMD stock moves less than the broader market, which suits investors who prioritize dividend growth over immediate income.
ResMed Inc. pays out 40.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend, supported by a business model that spans both recurring device sales across approximately 140 countries and subscription-oriented software platforms like Brightree and MatrixCare. ResMed Inc. dividend safety benefits from that diversification, though any material slowdown in its Sleep and Respiratory Care segment, which drives the bulk of revenue, would be the most direct pressure point on the payout.
ResMed Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 8.6% per year from 2013 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.84 to $2.26 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the rate calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.6% in 2020, which sets a floor for what slower growth looks like for RMD.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +9.5% | $1.72 (2022) | $2.26 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.7% | $1.56 (2020) | $2.26 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +6.9% | $1.16 (2015) | $2.26 (2025) |
RMD fits growth-and-income investors who want a dividend that compounds meaningfully over time rather than a high starting yield. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.08% today, and that is actually above the stock's own 5-year average yield of 0.83%, meaning the current entry point offers slightly more income than has been typical. The 40.2% payout ratio keeps the dividend well-covered, and 12 consecutive years of increases at an 8.6% annual pace is the defining characteristic here. The trade-off is straightforward: income today is modest, but the growth rate has consistently outpaced inflation.
