NVO dividend analysis

NVO dividend deep dive

NVO reinvested-yield math, holding TTM yield (5.00%) and 5y CAGR (12.0%) constant: 5/10/20-year cumulative income totals 31.3% / 72.4% / 197.4%.

NVO dividend calendar: ex-date 2026-03-01, pay date 2026-03-15. The pattern is quarterly, which means four payments per year at the current $3.500 per quarter run-rate.

Bottom line on NVO: 5.00% TTM yield + 12.0% growth + 55/100 safety. The forward question is whether the 50% payout ratio leaves enough free cash flow for continued growth at the current pace.
