American Eagle Outfitters pays a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share. The next payment is already declared, with an ex-date of October 9, 2026 and a pay date of October 28, 2026. The one before it went ex-dividend on July 10, 2026 and was paid on July 24. Over the trailing twelve months, the source gives $0.50 per share, a yield of about 2.78% at a share price of $17.98.

The record is not continuous. The table shows payments of $0.18 per share from July 2021 to July 2022, then no payment until April 2023. Payments resumed at $0.10 per share for three quarters in 2023. The rate rose to $0.13 with the payment that went ex-dividend in January 2024, a 30% increase, and it has stayed there since, including the declared October payment. The $0.13 rate is still below the $0.18 paid in 2021 and 2022. The source does not give a growth streak.

If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in early to mid-January 2027 and be paid in late January. Since 2024, ex-dates have fallen in January, April, July and October.
