KLA pays a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 17, 2026 and was paid on September 1, 2026. It was the first payment at that rate.
Every earlier payment in the record is listed at a much higher per-share amount, and the step to $0.23 was a clean one-tenth move with the payment schedule unchanged. That pattern is consistent with a share split rather than a change in the payout. Because the earlier amounts are on a different per-share basis, they are not compared with the current rate here, and no twelve-month total or yield is given. The record so far holds just one payment at the new rate.
The schedule itself has been steady throughout. Ex-dates fall in mid-February, mid-May, mid-August and mid-November, and payment follows about two weeks later, at the start of the next month. Over the record, raises have come at different points in the year, most recently with the May payments of 2025 and 2026. The company has increased its dividend for five consecutive years. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid in early December.
