Seagate Technology Holdings plc dividend pays $2.94 per share annually, backed by a business that supplies hard disk drives, SSDs, and enterprise storage systems to OEMs and data centers worldwide. The current yield sits at 0.35%, with quarterly payments of $0.74 per share and the next ex-dividend date on September 24, 2026. STX has grown its dividend for 12 consecutive years, making it a better fit for growth-oriented income investors than those chasing yield. A beta of 2.102 means the stock moves sharply with the market, so the income comes with meaningful price volatility.
Seagate Technology Holdings plc pays out 19.9% 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 soften, which matters for a company exposed to cyclical demand in enterprise storage and consumer hardware. Seagate Technology Holdings plc dividend safety is supported by that coverage buffer, though the company's reliance on hardware cycles means earnings can swing, and a prolonged downturn in data center or OEM spending would test that cushion.
Seagate Technology Holdings plc dividend history shows a CAGR of 11.6% per year from 2007 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.40 to $2.90 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). Growth has slowed considerably in recent years: from 2017 through 2023, the annual dividend moved in a narrow band between $2.52 and $2.80, with the smallest annual increases in the window amounting to flat years at $2.52 in 2017 and 2018. The 11.6% long-run CAGR is heavily influenced by the 230.4% jump in 2012, so the headline growth rate flatters what has been a much more modest pace in the past decade.
| 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 stock fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield, particularly those comfortable holding a volatile technology hardware name. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 0.35%, which is essentially in line with its 5-year average of 0.34%, so there is no meaningful yield expansion on offer. What the stock does provide is a 12-year streak of consecutive increases and a conservative 19.9% payout ratio that leaves room for future raises. The trade-off is clear: investors accept a thin income stream and a beta above 2.0 in exchange for a dividend that has grown steadily and has significant earnings coverage behind it.
