Disney pays a semi-annual dividend of $0.75 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of June 30, 2026 and was paid on July 22, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.50 per share, a yield of about 1.47% at a share price of $102.19.
The record is short and irregular. The table shows a payment of $0.88 that went ex-dividend in December 2019. No further payments appear until December 2023, when the dividend resumed at $0.30. Since then the amount has risen three times. It went to $0.45 in July 2024, to $0.50 in December 2024 and to $0.75 in December 2025. Those raises were 50%, 11% and 50%. The two most recent raises came with the December payment, and the rate then held for the June payment. The current $0.75 is still below the $0.88 paid in 2019. The source states a growth streak of one year.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid in mid-January 2027. That is the payment where the last two raises appeared.
