GOOG dividend analysis

GOOG dividend deep dive

GOOG pays a trailing-twelve-month yield of 2.30%, with a payout ratio of 33% of earnings. The yield band reads low-yield, and the company has compounded the distribution at 10.3% per year over the past five.

On the safety line, GOOG scores 45/100. The metric is built from the Quality pillar (38/100) with a payout-ratio adjustment; the band is watchlist and the practical implication is the distribution is data-dependent and worth a closer read on the next 10-Q.

On the simple DRIP framework, GOOG's 2.30% yield growing at 10.3% per year compounds to roughly 13.3% (5y), 28.5% (10y), and 65.0% (20y) cumulative income return.

Three peers for GOOG: KO (5.00%), PG (1.50%), PEP (2.90%). Average yield 3.13% versus 2.30% on the name. The active question on relative income is whether the gap is justified by the underlying Quality and Risk pillar reads.

GOOG 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 14-year growth streak makes the directional read straightforward.

Wrap-up on GOOG for income allocators: 2.30% TTM yield is the entry, 10.3% the growth, 45/100 the safety. The next 10-Q's free-cash-flow line is the practical leading indicator on the next hike.
