General Dynamics Corporation stock dividends

General Dynamics Corporation dividend payout ratio: 38.37% of net profits

Recently General Dynamics Corporation has paid out, on average, around 38.37% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.76% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), General Dynamics Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.76% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In General Dynamics Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $5.92 per share.

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

General Dynamics Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on November 14, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by October 10, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

General Dynamics Corporation stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for General Dynamics Corporation stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• General Dynamics Corporation's P/E ratio

  General Dynamics Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 22x. In other words, General Dynamics Corporation shares trade at around 22 times recent earnings.

  That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

• General Dynamics Corporation's PEG ratio

  General Dynamics Corporation's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 2.0062. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in General Dynamics Corporation's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• General Dynamics Corporation's EBITDA

  General Dynamics Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $6.2 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has General Dynamics Corporation stock ever split?

General Dynamics Corporation's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on March 26, 2006. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your General Dynamics Corporation stocks, just the quantity.

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