Seagate Technology Holdings plc dividend pays $2.94 per share on a trailing twelve-month basis, backed by a business that supplies hard drives, SSDs, and enterprise storage solutions to OEMs, distributors, and cloud operators worldwide. The current yield sits at 0.38%, well below the income threshold most dividend-focused investors target. STX pays quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on September 24, 2026, and the last dividend amount of $0.74 per share. With a beta of 2.081, this is a volatile stock, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than those seeking steady, low-risk income.
Seagate Technology Holdings plc pays out 21.1% 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 come under pressure, which matters given STX's exposure to cyclical demand for hard drives and enterprise storage hardware. Seagate Technology Holdings plc dividend safety is further supported by the fact that the company serves healthcare, surveillance, cloud, and media markets, spreading demand across multiple end-use sectors. The primary risk is the company's high beta of 2.081, which reflects earnings volatility that could narrow that coverage cushion in a downturn.
Seagate Technology Holdings plc dividend history shows a CAGR of 11.6% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.40 to $2.90 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 230.4% in 2012, reflecting a step-change from a very low base rather than a sustained acceleration. Growth has slowed considerably since then: from 2016 through 2023, the annual dividend moved in increments of $0.00 to $0.09, which means the long-run CAGR flatters the recent pace.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +1.2% | $2.80 (2022) | $2.90 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +2.1% | $2.62 (2020) | $2.90 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +2.6% | $2.25 (2015) | $2.90 (2025) |
STX fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising dividend from a data storage business but are not relying on the stock for meaningful current income. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at just 0.38%, far below the 5-year average of 1.52%, which means the stock's price appreciation has outpaced dividend growth in recent years. Twelve consecutive years of dividend increases show a commitment to growing the payout, but the recent pace of increases has been modest. The trade-off is clear: investors get a well-covered, growing dividend from a company embedded in enterprise and cloud storage demand, but they accept a yield that delivers little income in the near term.
