How much does $10,000 in CHD pay in dividends?

At CHD's current yield of 1.28%, $10,000 pays about $128.50 a year — roughly $32.12 per payment, paid quarterly, or $10.71 a month averaged out.

What would CHD be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?

Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in CHD would grow to about $11,369 after 10 years, against $11,285 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 CHD pay dividends?

CHD pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.

Is CHD'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 CHD's full payment history before relying on any of it.

Has CHD increased its dividend every year?

CHD has raised its dividend in each of the last 29 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.

What makes up CHD's 1.28% yield

CHD paid $1.22 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $94.75, which is where the 1.28% 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 CHD and the smaller one; the figures below are not a total-return estimate.

Staples businesses sell things people buy in every part of a cycle, which is what has historically allowed long uninterrupted payment records in this sector. The trade-off is that the growth funding those raises is usually modest.

When CHD pays, and what that changes

CHD 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. CHD's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.

Is CHD's dividend covered by earnings?

CHD's payout ratio of 0.39 means roughly 39% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving the rest retained. A margin that size is what allows a payment to be maintained through a weaker year without being funded from borrowing.

Demand in this kind of business holds up across a cycle, so the earnings behind the ratio move less than the market's average and the figure is reasonably representative rather than a snapshot of a good year.

Every figure above holds CHD's dividend flat. That is a conservative assumption here: the payment has risen in each of the last 29 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.
