Barclays pays a dividend twice a year. The most recent payment of $0.30 per share had an ex-date of August 7, 2026 and was paid on September 15, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.60 per share, a yield of about 2.51% at a share price of $23.82.

The two payments usually differ in size. From 2022 to 2025, the payment with a February or early March ex-date was the larger one, between $0.21 and $0.27, while the August payment was between $0.10 and $0.16. In 2026 both payments were $0.30. Calendar-year totals rose every year, from $0.17 in 2021 to $0.31 in 2022, $0.38 in 2023, $0.42 in 2024, $0.43 in 2025 and $0.60 in 2026, about 39.5% above 2025. The source lists a growth streak of five years. The oldest row is a single $0.30 payment in February 2020, with no August payment that year.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late February 2027 and be paid around the start of April 2027.
