TKO Group Holdings, Inc. dividend reflects a sports and entertainment business built around live events, media rights, and sponsorships reaching audiences in roughly 170 countries.

A beta of 0.644 points to below-average price volatility, which income investors focused on capital preservation may find appealing.
TKO Group Holdings, Inc. pays out 230.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That figure means the company is paying out more than twice its reported earnings, which raises real questions about TKO Group Holdings, Inc. dividend safety without additional context on cash generation from its live events, media content, and sponsorship revenue streams. The most significant data-supported pressure point is the payout ratio itself: at 230.6%, any earnings shortfall leaves little buffer before the dividend comes under strain.
TKO Group Holdings, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of -4.2% per year from 2006 to 2022. Per-share payments moved from $0.96 in 2006 down to $0.48 by 2022, a decline of exactly half over that window. The largest annual increase in the window was 50.0% in 2008, but the overall direction was negative, and the data block confirms at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5% within that period. TKO carries zero consecutive years of dividend increases, meaning no growth streak exists to anchor income expectations.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | +36.8% | $0.48 (2019) | $2.30 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +17.0% | $0.48 (2014) | $2.30 (2025) |
TKO stock fits dividend investors who can tolerate a high payout ratio and an absence of dividend growth in exchange for a yield that now sits above its own historical average. The yield is classified as low (below 2%), but at 1.67% it runs ahead of the 5-year average of 0.99%, which reflects a meaningful shift in the payment structure rather than a sustained income commitment. The historical CAGR of -4.2% per year through 2022 and zero consecutive years of increases make this a poor fit for investors prioritizing dividend growth. What TKO offers is exposure to a large-scale sports and entertainment business with below-average price volatility; what it asks investors to accept is a payout ratio of 230.6% and a dividend record that has declined more than it has grown.
