## Dividend summary

| Metric | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Frequency | quarterly |
| Trailing 12 months | $2.10 |
| Forward yield | 0.29% |
| Growth streak | 1 years |

Meta pays a quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of September 21, 2026 and was paid on September 28, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $2.10 per share, a yield of about 0.29% at a share price of $728.08.

The record is short. It starts with a $0.50 payment that went ex-dividend in February 2024 and holds eleven payments in all. Meta paid $0.50 for the four payments of 2024. The rate rose to $0.53 with the payment that went ex-dividend in March 2025, a raise of three cents, or 6%. It has stayed at that level for the seven payments since. There was no raise with the March 2026 payment, so the record holds only one increase. The source lists a growth streak of one year. A single raise is too little history to show a regular rhythm.

Ex-dates have fallen in mid-March, mid-June, mid-to-late September and mid-December, with payment about one to two weeks later. If that timing holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid in late December.
