Stifel Financial Corp dividend reflects a wealth management and investment banking business founded in 1890, serving individuals, corporations, and municipalities across the U.S. and internationally. SF pays a quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share, with the next ex-dividend date on June 1, 2026, adding up to a trailing annual rate of $1.4467 per share. The current yield sits at 1.98%. Growth-focused income investors are the natural fit here, given a 9.4% annualized dividend growth rate over three decades.
Stifel Financial Corp pays out 28.4% 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 from its wealth management and investment banking operations face cyclical pressure. Stifel Financial Corp dividend safety gets a boost from that coverage cushion, though the business carries a beta of 1.011, meaning SF stock moves roughly in line with the broader market and earnings can fluctuate with market activity levels.
Stifel Financial Corp dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.4% per year from 1993 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.1050 to $1.8400 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 300.0% in 2018, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been uninterrupted.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +15.3% | $1.20 (2022) | $1.84 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +22.0% | $0.68 (2020) | $1.84 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +31.4% | $0.12 (2001) | $1.84 (2025) |
SF stock fits growth-and-income investors who want dividend expansion from a wealth management and investment banking business rather than a high current payout. The yield is low (below 2%), and at 1.98% it sits modestly above the 5-year average of 1.85%, so income alone is not the draw. Four consecutive years of increases and a 9.4% long-run CAGR are the real story. The trade-off is clear: investors get a fast-growing dividend backed by a conservative 28.4% payout ratio, but they accept a yield that will not satisfy income-first portfolios today.
