New York Times pays a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share. Its next payment has already been declared, with an ex-date of October 7, 2026 and a pay date of October 22, 2026. The most recent paid one went ex-dividend on July 8, 2026 and was paid on July 23, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.82 per share, a yield of about 1.28% at a share price of $63.90.

The company has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in early April. The rate went from $0.07 to $0.09 in 2022, then to $0.11 in 2023, $0.13 in 2024, $0.18 in 2025 and $0.23 in 2026. The raises ranged from about 18% to 38%, the largest in 2025. Since early 2022, the quarterly rate has more than tripled, up about 229%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.34 in 2022 to $0.67 in 2025. The source gives a growth streak of five years.

If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in early January 2027 and be paid in mid to late January. Past raises have come with the April payment, not the January one.
