STMicroelectronics N.V. dividend sits at a 0.48% yield, reflecting the company's position as a global semiconductor maker serving automotive, industrial, and personal electronics markets. The trailing annual dividend rate is $0.3546 per share, paid quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on March 16, 2027. STM designs and manufactures chips across three divisions, from automotive integrated circuits to MEMS sensors and microcontrollers. A beta of 1.565 means the stock moves sharply with the market, making it a better fit for investors prioritizing long-term growth over near-term income.
STMicroelectronics N.V. pays out 208.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That figure means current earnings do not fully cover the dividend, which raises questions about STMicroelectronics N.V. dividend safety without a near-term earnings recovery. The most significant data-supported pressure point is that the payout ratio exceeds 100%, meaning the company is paying more in dividends than it currently earns per share, a position that is difficult to sustain if earnings do not rebound.
STMicroelectronics N.V. dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.7% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share, the dividend grew from $0.2400 to $0.3600 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 49.8% in 2011, but the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +19.1% | $0.21 (2022) | $0.36 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +15.7% | $0.17 (2020) | $0.36 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -1.0% | $0.40 (2015) | $0.36 (2025) |
STM stock fits dividend investors who accept a low yield in exchange for exposure to a global semiconductor business spanning automotive chips, MEMS sensors, and microcontrollers. The current yield of 0.48% is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 0.38%, which is a modest positive. Six consecutive years of dividend increases show a recent commitment to growth, but a payout ratio above 200% is the defining tension here. What an investor gets is a semiconductor company with a growing dividend streak. What they accept is a yield that barely registers as income and a payout that earnings do not currently support.
