TE Connectivity plc dividend investors get exposure to a global manufacturer of connectors, sensors, and cable assemblies serving automotive, data center, and defense markets. The current yield is 1.43%, with trailing twelve-month payments of $2.91 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is November 20, 2026. TEL stock carries a beta of 1.14, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than those seeking a high-yield, low-volatility income stream.
TE Connectivity plc pays out 28.5% 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 face pressure, and TEL's broad exposure across automotive, e-mobility, and data center markets supports ongoing demand for its connectivity and sensor products. The most data-supported risk to TE Connectivity plc dividend safety is the company's beta of 1.14, which means earnings can move with broader economic cycles, potentially compressing the cushion that makes the current payout ratio look comfortable.
TE Connectivity plc dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.4% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.70 to $2.78 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 4.2% in 2021, which still outpaced most inflation readings that year and shows the floor TEL has maintained even in softer periods.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +8.4% | $2.18 (2022) | $2.78 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.9% | $1.90 (2020) | $2.78 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +8.1% | $1.28 (2015) | $2.78 (2025) |
TEL fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising income stream from a company embedded in high-demand markets like e-mobility, AI data centers, and defense, and who are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for that growth. At 1.43%, the yield is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits below the 5-year average of 1.55%, so current buyers are getting slightly less income upfront than the historical norm. Seventeen consecutive years of increases and a 10.4% annual growth rate are the defining characteristics here. The trade-off is straightforward: the dividend grows fast, but the starting yield is modest, and income-focused investors who need immediate cash flow will find TEL underwhelming on that front.
