Starbucks Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 70.09% of net profits

Recently Starbucks Corporation has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Starbucks Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Starbucks Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.32 per share.

Starbucks Corporation's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Starbucks Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 27 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 13 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Starbucks Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted Starbucks Corporation's stock price.
