Electronic Arts stock dividends

22%

Electronic Arts dividend payout ratio: 22.22% of net profits

Recently Electronic Arts has paid out, on average, around 22.22% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.38% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Electronic Arts shareholders could enjoy a 0.38% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Electronic Arts's case, that would currently equate to about $0.76 per share.

While Electronic Arts's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Electronic Arts is investing more in its future growth.

Electronic Arts's next dividend payout is expected around December 23, 2025. To benefit, you'll need to buy Electronic Arts stocks before December 3, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
