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 1.47%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.91 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 21, 2026. TEL stock carries a beta of 1.163, which means price swings run slightly above the broader market, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than pure income seekers.
TE Connectivity plc pays out 28.8% 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 customer base spanning automotive, aerospace, and data center markets spreads demand risk across multiple end markets. The most data-supported pressure point for TE Connectivity plc dividend safety is the beta of 1.163: earnings in cyclical industrial and technology markets can move sharply, and a meaningful earnings decline would test even a conservative payout ratio.
TE Connectivity plc dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.4% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share dividend 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 slow 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 a rising dividend stream from a diversified industrial technology business rather than a high current yield. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.47%, and that is above the 5-year average of 1.19%, so the current entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 28.8% payout ratio means the dividend is not being stretched to produce that yield. The trade-off is straightforward: 17 consecutive years of increases and a 10.4% CAGR reward patience, but investors accepting a sub-2% yield today are betting on compounding growth, not immediate income.
