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 1.46%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.98 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 21, 2026. TEL stock carries a beta of 1.162, meaning it moves with the broader market, which suits growth-and-income investors more than those seeking low-volatility income.
TE Connectivity plc pays out 28.2% 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 end-market exposure across automotive, industrial, and data center customers diversifies its revenue base. TE Connectivity plc dividend safety is further supported by 17 consecutive years of increases with no cuts in the available history. The primary risk is cyclical demand: the Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments are tied to capital spending cycles, which can compress earnings during downturns.
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 period (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 4.2% in 2021, which sets a floor for what slower growth looks like even in a difficult year.
| 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 dividend expansion from a diversified industrial technology company rather than a high current yield. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.46%, and the 5-year average yield of 1.16% shows the current yield is actually above its own historical norm, not below it. The 28.2% payout ratio means the dividend is not stretched. The trade-off is straightforward: investors accept a modest income stream today in exchange for a dividend that has grown at 10.4% annually over 14 years. Seventeen consecutive years of increases with no cuts in the available data reinforces that growth pattern. Income-focused investors who need yield above 2% will find TEL limiting.
