Woodside Energy Group Ltd dividend investors are looking at an Australian LNG and oil producer with operations spanning Oceania, Asia, and Africa. The current yield stands at 5.02%, paid semi-annually, with the next ex-dividend date on September 4, 2026. WOPEF pays a trailing annual rate of $1.1625 per share, with the last dividend at $0.57. A beta of -0.231 means WOPEF stock moves inversely to the broader market, a characteristic that appeals to income investors seeking low correlation to equity swings.
Woodside Energy Group Ltd pays out 68.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level leaves a meaningful but not wide buffer, supported by a diversified product portfolio spanning LNG, crude oil, condensate, and LPG sold across multiple global markets. Woodside Energy Group Ltd dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from commodity price volatility: the history table shows a sharp decline in 2020, reflecting how energy revenue can compress quickly when prices fall.
Woodside Energy Group Ltd dividend history shows a CAGR of 8.5% per year from 2005 to 2023. Per-share payments grew from $0.5149 to $2.2248 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 75.8% in 2013, but the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -20.5% | $2.13 (2022) | $1.07 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +5.7% | $0.81 (2020) | $1.07 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -11.0% | $3.42 (2015) | $1.07 (2025) |
WOPEF fits dividend investors who prioritize yield over predictability. The yield classification is high (above 4%), and at 5.02% it currently sits below the 5-year average of 6.06%, which means income buyers are getting less than the historical norm. The 68.2% payout ratio is elevated, and the dividend history includes meaningful cuts during commodity downturns. What an investor gains here is a high nominal yield from a globally diversified LNG and oil producer. What they accept is a dividend that has moved sharply with energy markets and carries no consecutive-increase streak.
