What makes up HPQ's 3.83% yield
HPQ paid $1.20 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $31.30, which is where the 3.83% 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 yield near the median tells you little on its own, so the number worth pairing it with is the payout ratio: at 0.45, roughly 45% of HPQ's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 55% is retained. Two companies on identical yields can sit at opposite ends of that range, and it is the difference between a payment with room to absorb a weak year and one without.
Technology dividends are usually a recent and secondary use of cash — buybacks and reinvestment normally take priority — so yields are low even where the cash generation behind them is very large. The payout ratio here is often well below the level that would constrain a raise.
When HPQ pays, and what that changes
HPQ 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. HPQ's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is HPQ's dividend covered by earnings?
HPQ's payout ratio of 0.45 means roughly 45% 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.
A low ratio is the norm rather than an achievement in this part of the market: the dividend is a secondary use of cash behind reinvestment and buybacks, so most of what is retained is not being held back against a weak year — it is being spent elsewhere.
The figures hold the dividend flat. HPQ has raised its payment in each of the last 8 years, which is a shorter record than the multi-decade streaks found among the longest-standing payers, and not yet long enough to have been tested across a full cycle.
HPQ dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in HPQ pay in dividends?
- At HPQ's current yield of 3.83%, $10,000 pays about $383.39 a year — roughly $95.85 per payment, paid quarterly, or $31.95 a month averaged out.

- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in HPQ would grow to about $14,646 after 10 years, against $13,834 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.

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