Novo Nordisk pays a dividend twice a year. Its most recent payment, $0.41 per share, had an ex-date of August 17, 2026 and was paid on August 25, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.32 per share, a yield of about 3.56% at a share price of $37.20.

Ex-dates fall in late March and in mid-August, with pay dates about a week or two later. In every year in the table, the spring payment has been the larger of the two. Spring payments ranged from $0.56 in 2020 to $1.19 in 2023, and were $0.92 in 2026. August payments ranged from $0.37 in 2020 to $0.88 in 2023, and were $0.41 in 2026. The amounts move up and down from year to year rather than in steady steps. Payments by calendar year were $0.93 in 2020, $1.24 in 2021, $1.32 in 2022, $2.07 in 2023, $1.44 in 2024 and $1.68 in 2025. The source gives no growth streak.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late March 2027 and be paid in early April. In each year shown, that spring payment has been the larger one.
