Sony Group Corporation dividend sits at a 0.62% yield, a low figure for a company spanning consumer electronics, PlayStation gaming, music, film, and financial services. The trailing annual dividend rate is $25.00 per share, paid monthly, with the next ex-dividend date on March 30, 2026. SONY pays $0.0781 per share in its most recent monthly installment. With a beta of 0.744, SONY stock carries below-market price volatility, which suits dividend investors who prioritize steadiness over yield size.
Sony Group Corporation pays out a negative 67.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%) on an absolute basis. The breadth of Sony Group Corporation's business, spanning recurring revenue from PlayStation network services, music publishing, insurance, and banking, supports the current payout level. Sony Group Corporation dividend safety faces its most visible pressure from the cyclical nature of consumer electronics and entertainment spending, both of which can compress earnings in a downturn.
Sony Group Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.2% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.0430 to $0.1503 over that span (2026 data is partial and excluded from the rate calculation). The history window contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which means growth has not been uninterrupted, and income investors should weigh that against the long-run average.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +12.7% | $0.10 (2022) | $0.15 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +10.0% | $0.09 (2020) | $0.15 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +25.0% | $0.02 (2015) | $0.15 (2025) |
SONY stock fits dividend investors who want exposure to a diversified global conglomerate and can accept a low current yield in exchange for measured growth. The yield of 0.62% is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits well below the 5-year average yield of 1.92%, meaning the stock currently delivers less income relative to its own history. Three consecutive years of dividend increases show a recent upward direction, but the history also includes past cuts, so the growth path has not been linear. The trade-off is clear: SONY offers a conservative payout structure and below-market price volatility, but income-focused investors will find the yield modest.
