Carnival pays a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 7, 2026 and was paid on August 28, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.45 per share across three payments, a yield of about 1.75% at a share price of $25.76.
The payment history in the table has a long gap. It shows two payments of $0.50 per share, in December 2019 and March 2020. No payments are listed after that until February 2026, when the dividend resumed at $0.15 per share. Since then, Carnival has made three payments at that rate: with ex-dates of February 13, May 18 and August 7, 2026, and pay dates near the end of February, May and August. The rate has not changed since the dividend resumed, and the source lists no growth streak. Because only three payments have been made since the restart, there is no raise history yet to describe, and the 2026 record is still short.
If the quarterly pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around November 2026 and be paid near the end of that month.
