Bank of America stock dividends

Bank of America dividend payout ratio: 29.43% of net profits

Recently Bank of America has paid out, on average, around 29.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.13% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bank of America shareholders could enjoy a 2.13% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Bank of America's case, that would currently equate to about $1.06 per share.

While Bank of America's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Bank of America may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Bank of America's next dividend payout is expected around December 26, 2025. To benefit, you'll need to buy Bank of America stocks before December 5, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
