BCE pays a dividend four times a year. Its most recent payment, $0.31 per share, had an ex-date of September 15, 2026 and is due to be paid on October 15, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.26 per share, a yield of about 6.43% at a share price of $19.62.
The amounts vary slightly from payment to payment and show two distinct levels. From December 2021 through March 2025, payments ranged from $0.67 to $0.74 per share. Starting with the June 2025 payment, they have ranged from $0.31 to $0.32. Payments by calendar year were $2.84 in 2022, $2.87 in 2023 and $2.91 in 2024. The 2025 total was $1.64, with one payment at the earlier level and three at the lower one. The 2026 payments so far add up to $0.95. The source does not show a growth streak.
The calendar has been very regular. Ex-dates fall in mid-March, mid-June, mid-September and mid-December, and payment follows on or around the 15th of the next month. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid around January 15, 2027.
