What Is the Dividend Payout for Disney?
How much does Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) pay in dividends? The short answer is that the latest dividend paid by the House of Mouse was $0.45 per share. This was paid to shareholders of record as of July 8, 2024 on July 25, 2024. If you owned 100 shares of Disney stock, you would have received a $45 dividend payment.
However, there's more to the story. For one thing, Disney is a rare example of a stock that pays a semi-annual (twice-a-year) dividend rather than a quarterly one. And second, Disney suspended its dividend in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and only resumed its payments in January 2024.
As mentioned, Disney resumed its dividend after a four-year pause in January 2024. The company declared a dividend of $0.30 per share, which was paid to shareholders on Jan. 10. The latest (July) dividend represents a 50% increase over the previous payment amount.
