TKO Group Holdings, Inc. dividend comes from a sports and entertainment company built around UFC, WWE, and the IMG media and events business. The current yield sits at 1.78%, with trailing twelve-month payments of $3.11 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 15, 2026, with the most recent quarterly payment at $0.79 per share. A beta of 0.692 puts TKO stock below average market volatility, which appeals to income investors who want lower price swings alongside their payout.
TKO Group Holdings, Inc. pays out 108.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That figure means the company is currently paying out more than it earns, which is the central concern around TKO Group Holdings, Inc. dividend safety. The business spans live event ticket sales, media rights fees from UFC and WWE programming, and brand partnerships through IMG, all of which generate revenue, but a payout ratio above 100% leaves no earnings buffer if any of those revenue streams soften.
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 at the start of the window down to $0.48 by 2022, a halving of the annual payout over that period (note: 2023, 2025, and 2026 figures in the table are partial years and are excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year move in the window was a 50.0% increase in 2008, but the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, and the overall direction across the full window was negative.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | +36.8% | $0.48 (2019) | $2.30 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +17.0% | $0.48 (2014) | $2.30 (2025) |
As an income stock, TKO Group Holdings, Inc. presents a mixed picture for dividend investors. The yield is low (below 2%), and with no 5-year average yield available for comparison, there is no baseline to judge whether the current 1.78% is elevated or compressed relative to its own history. The payout ratio of 108.7% is the defining concern: the company is paying out more than it earns, which limits confidence in the dividend's durability. What TKO stock offers is exposure to high-profile sports and entertainment properties, UFC, WWE, and IMG, with a quarterly income stream and below-market beta. The trade-off is a payout that outpaces earnings and a dividend history that trended downward over its measurable window.
