Lloyds Banking Group pays a dividend twice a year. The most recent payment of $0.08 per share had an ex-date of August 10, 2026 and was paid on September 25, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.21 per share, a yield of about 3.82% at a share price of $5.60.
The two payments differ in size. Since 2022, the payment with an April ex-date has been the larger one and the August payment the smaller. Both have generally grown. The April amount went from $0.07 in 2022 to $0.13 in 2026, and the August amount from $0.04 to $0.08 over the same years. Calendar-year totals rose every year, from $0.07 in 2021 to $0.11 in 2022, $0.13 in 2023, $0.14 in 2024, $0.17 in 2025 and $0.21 in 2026, three times the 2021 total. The source lists a growth streak of five years. The oldest row is a single April 2020 payment of $0.11.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in April 2027 and be paid in late May or early June 2027. That spring payment has been the larger of the two each year since 2022.
