Wells Fargo stock dividends
Wells Fargo dividend payout ratio: 28.43% of net profits
Recently Wells Fargo has paid out, on average, around 28.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.1% of the current stock value.
This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Wells Fargo shareholders could enjoy a 2.1% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Wells Fargo's case, that would currently equate to about $1.65 per share.
While Wells Fargo's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Wells Fargo may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Wells Fargo's most recent dividend payout was on December 1, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by November 7, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Has Wells Fargo stock ever split?
Wells Fargo's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on August 13, 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 Wells Fargo stocks, just the quantity.
