Capital One pays a quarterly dividend of $0.80 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 17, 2026 and was paid on September 1, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.80 four times, a total of $3.20 per share. That is a yield of about 1.6% at a share price of $194.72.

For most of the record, the rate did not change. Capital One paid $0.60 per share every quarter from late 2021 through August 2025. Payments by calendar year were $2.40 in each of 2022, 2023 and 2024. The rate then rose to $0.80 with the payment that went ex-dividend on November 17, 2025, an increase of 20 cents, or about 33%. That single raise is the only change in the table, and it lifted the 2025 calendar-year total to $2.60. The source lists a dividend growth streak of one year. Ex-dates have fallen in February, May, August and November.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around the start of December. That is the payment that carried the 2025 raise.
