ITW with dividends reinvested
$10,000 in ITW, every dividend reinvested, holding the payment and share price flat. Deliberately conservative — most calculators assume years of uninterrupted growth, and that assumption drives most of the result.

What makes up ITW's 2.39% yield
ITW paid $6.44 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $269.42, which is where the 2.39% 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 0.57, roughly 57% of ITW's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 43% 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.
Industrial earnings track capital spending cycles, so payout ratios here tend to look comfortable at a peak and stretched at a trough while the dividend itself is held flat.
When ITW pays, and what that changes
ITW 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. ITW's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is ITW's dividend covered by earnings?
ITW's payout ratio of 0.57 means roughly 57% 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.
That ratio deserves a caveat specific to cyclical earnings, though: it is struck against one year's profits, and in this kind of business those profits swing with prices the company does not set. A comfortable-looking ratio at the top of a cycle and a stretched one at the bottom can describe an unchanged dividend — so the level matters less here than where in the cycle it was measured.
Every figure above holds ITW's dividend flat. That is a conservative assumption here: the payment has risen in each of the last 30 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.
ITW dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in ITW pay in dividends?
- At ITW's current yield of 2.39%, $10,000 pays about $239.03 a year — roughly $59.76 per payment, paid quarterly, or $19.92 a month averaged out.
- What would ITW be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in ITW would grow to about $12,691 after 10 years, against $12,390 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 ITW pay dividends?
- ITW pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is ITW'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 ITW's full payment history before relying on any of it.
- Has ITW increased its dividend every year?
- ITW has raised its dividend in each of the last 30 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.
