PayPal stock dividends
PayPal dividend payout ratio: 2.66% of net profits
Recently PayPal has paid out, on average, around 2.66% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.89% of the current stock value.
This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), PayPal shareholders could enjoy a 0.89% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In PayPal's case, that would currently equate to about $0.14 per share.
While PayPal's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that PayPal is investing more in its future growth.
PayPal's next dividend payout is expected around December 10, 2025. To benefit, you'll need to buy PayPal stocks before November 19, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
