Comcast pays a quarterly dividend of $0.33 per share. Its next payment is already declared, with an ex-date of October 7, 2026 and a pay date of October 28, 2026. The trailing-twelve-month total is $0.99 per share, a yield of about 4.6% at a share price of $21.57. That figure covers three ex-dates, because the October 2025 payment fell just outside the twelve-month window.
The record shows a steady annual rhythm. Comcast has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in early April. The rate went from $0.25 to $0.27 in 2022, then to $0.29 in 2023, $0.31 in 2024 and $0.33 in 2025. Each raise was two cents, which works out to between 6.5% and 8.0%. Since early 2022, the quarterly rate has grown 32%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.06 in 2022 to $1.30 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive years.
If the pattern holds, the payment after October would go ex-dividend in early to mid-January 2027 and be paid in late January or early February. Past raises have come with the April payment.
