American Financial Group pays a regular quarterly dividend, now $0.97 per share. That payment is already declared, with an ex-date of October 15, 2026 and payment on October 23, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $7.02 per share including extra payments, a yield of about 5.00% at a share price of $140.49.

The regular rate has been raised once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in mid-October. It went from $0.63 to $0.71 in 2023, then to $0.80 in 2024, $0.88 in 2025 and $0.97 in 2026. Each raise was eight or nine cents, or roughly 10% to 13%. Since mid-2023, the regular rate has grown about 54%. Regular payments added up to $2.93 in 2024 and $3.28 in 2025.

The table also shows unusually large extra payments alongside the regular ones: $1.50 in November 2023, $2.50 in February 2024, $4.00 in November 2024, $2.00 in March 2025, $2.00 in November 2025 and $1.50 in February 2026. The source gives no growth streak. If the pattern holds, the regular payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in mid-January 2027 and be paid later that month.
