CHRW dividend analysis

CHRW dividend deep dive

CHRW pays a trailing-twelve-month yield of 2.10%, with a payout ratio of 71% of earnings. The yield band reads low-yield, and the company has compounded the distribution at 9.1% per year over the past five.

On the safety line, CHRW scores 68/100. The metric is built from the Quality pillar (76/100) with a payout-ratio adjustment; the band is fair-safety and the practical implication is the distribution is durable on the trailing fundamentals.

On the simple DRIP framework, CHRW's 2.10% yield growing at 9.1% per year compounds to roughly 12.0% (5y), 25.4% (10y), and 57.3% (20y) cumulative income return.

Three peers for CHRW: KO (5.00%), PG (1.50%), PEP (2.90%). Average yield 3.13% versus 2.10% on the name. The active question on relative income is whether the gap is justified by the underlying Quality and Risk pillar reads.

CHRW dividend schedule: most recent ex-date 2026-03-01, payment 2026-03-15. The forward path depends on whether management raises the next declaration; the 2-year growth streak makes the directional read straightforward.

Wrap-up on CHRW for income allocators: 2.10% TTM yield is the entry, 9.1% the growth, 68/100 the safety. The next 10-Q's free-cash-flow line is the practical leading indicator on the next hike.
