Cheesecake Factory pays a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 11, 2026 and was paid on August 25, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.17 per share, a yield of about 1.08% at a share price of $108.21.
The record has a gap. The table shows payments of $0.36 per share in November 2019 and March 2020, then no payments until May 2022, when they resumed at $0.27. That rate held for fifteen payments through November 2025. Payments by calendar year were $1.08 in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025. The rate then rose to $0.30 with the payment that went ex-dividend in March 2026, a raise of three cents or about 11.1%. That is the only raise in the table since payments resumed, and the source does not give a growth streak.
Since 2023, payments have gone ex-dividend in early March, mid to late May, mid August and mid November, and been paid about two weeks later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid in late November. The one raise since 2022 came with the March payment.
