Elbit Systems pays a quarterly dividend, now $1.00 per share. Its next payment has been declared, with an ex-date of October 13, 2026 and a pay date of October 26, 2026. The last one paid went ex-dividend on June 23, 2026 and was paid on July 6. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $3.50 per share, a yield of about 0.51% at a share price of $690.84.
For about three years the rate was flat. After $0.46 in December 2021, it was $0.50 from April 2022 through December 2024, so payments by calendar year were $2.00 in each of 2022, 2023 and 2024. Since then the rate has risen three times in quick succession: to $0.60 with the April 2025 payment, up 20%, to $0.75 in October 2025, up 25%, and to $1.00 in April 2026, up about 33.3%. Payments in calendar 2025 totalled $2.70. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has more than doubled. The source gives a growth streak of one year.
If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in late December 2026 and be paid in early January 2027. Recent raises have come with the April and October payments.
