## Dividend summary

| Metric | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Frequency | semi-annual |
| Trailing 12 months | $3.23 |
| Forward yield | 1.94% |
| Growth streak | — |

AstraZeneca pays a dividend twice a year. Its most recent payment, $1.06 per share, had an ex-date of August 7, 2026 and was paid on September 8, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $3.23 per share, a yield of about 2.03% at a share price of $158.84.

The record is short. The table holds only two payments, both in 2026. The first, $2.17 per share, went ex-dividend on February 20, 2026 and was paid on March 23, 2026. The second, $1.06 per share, came about six months later. The February payment was roughly twice the size of the August one. Those two payments make up the full trailing-twelve-month total. With only one year of data, there are no earlier calendar-year totals to compare, no history of increases or decreases, and the source gives no growth streak.

If the twice-a-year spacing holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around late February 2027 and be paid around late March. In the one year shown, the larger of the two payments came with the February ex-date. A longer record will be needed before the size and rhythm of the dividend can be described with more confidence.
