Xylem Inc. designs, manufactures, and services engineered water technology products, from Flygt wastewater pumps to Sensus smart meters, for utility, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide. The Xylem Inc. dividend currently yields 1.43%, with a trailing annual rate of $1.66 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is May 28, 2026. With a beta of 1.04, XYL stock moves roughly in line with the broader market, making it a fit for growth-and-income investors who want dividend expansion rather than a high starting yield.
Xylem Inc. pays out 41.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend, supported by demand across water infrastructure, measurement, and treatment services that span both municipal and industrial end markets. Xylem Inc. dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from the cyclical industrial segment of its business, where capital spending by customers can slow during economic downturns, potentially compressing earnings that underpin the payout.
Xylem Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 11.2% per year from 2012 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.4040 to $1.6000 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from the growth calculation, per Xylem Inc. dividend 2026 partial-year reporting). The smallest annual increase in the window was 7.1% in 2022, which still outpaced inflation in most years and reflects a floor that income investors can reference when gauging minimum expected growth.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +10.1% | $1.20 (2022) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +9.0% | $1.04 (2020) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +11.0% | $0.56 (2015) | $1.60 (2025) |
XYL stock fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend expansion over immediate income, given its 11.2% annualized dividend growth rate across 13 consecutive years of increases. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.43%, and it sits above the 5-year average of 1.15%, which means the current entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The trade-off is straightforward: Xylem Inc. delivers fast, uninterrupted dividend growth backed by a moderate 41.0% payout ratio, but investors accepting a sub-2% starting yield are betting on compounding over time rather than collecting meaningful income today.
