What makes up ALB's 1.50% yield
ALB paid $1.63 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $108.25, which is where the 1.50% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.
A below-median yield is not the same as a weak dividend. It commonly means earnings are being retained and reinvested, or that the share price has risen faster than the payment — in the second case the holder's income did not fall, the yield did. Income is one component of the return on ALB and the smaller one; the figures below are not a total-return estimate.
Materials dividends are funded by commodity earnings and are among the most cyclical on the market. A trailing yield captures what was paid through one part of that cycle, which may not resemble the next.
When ALB pays, and what that changes
ALB pays quarterly, the standard schedule for US-listed payers, so the "per payment" column is one quarter of the annual figure and the "monthly average" column is a smoothed figure rather than a description of when cash arrives — nothing is paid in eight months of the year.
Each payment has an ex-dividend date, and it is the date that governs entitlement: shares bought on or after it do not carry that payment. ALB's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is ALB's dividend covered by earnings?
ALB's payout ratio of 1.59 means the dividend exceeds reported earnings — the company is distributing more than it earned. That is sustainable for a period from cash reserves or borrowing, and it is the single most relevant caveat on this page, because the ten-year figures above assume the payment continues at its present level throughout.
Every figure above holds ALB's dividend flat. That is a conservative assumption here: the payment has risen in each of the last 26 years, and repeating that record would put the real result above these numbers. It is stated as an assumption rather than built in because a streak describes what has happened, not what is promised.
ALB dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in ALB pay in dividends?
- At ALB's current yield of 1.50%, $10,000 pays about $150.12 a year — roughly $37.53 per payment, paid quarterly, or $12.51 a month averaged out.
- What would ALB be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in ALB would grow to about $11,616 after 10 years, against $11,501 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.
- How often does ALB pay dividends?
- ALB pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is ALB's dividend guaranteed?
- No. Dividends are discretionary and can be reduced or suspended at any time, and every figure here is a projection from the current yield rather than a forecast. Check ALB's full payment history before relying on any of it.
- Can ALB afford its dividend?
- ALB's payout ratio is 1.59, meaning the dividend currently exceeds reported earnings. That gap can be funded from cash or borrowing for a period, but not indefinitely from profits. The projections on this page assume the payment continues unchanged, which is an assumption rather than a finding — check the full payment history and the company's own filings before relying on it.
- Has ALB increased its dividend every year?
- ALB has raised its dividend in each of the last 26 years on our records, which are derived from split-adjusted payment history and are approximate. The projections above deliberately ignore that growth and hold the payment flat, so a continuation of the record would put the real outcome above the figures shown.
