What makes up MDLZ's 3.32% yield
MDLZ paid $2.00 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $60.25, which is where the 3.32% 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 0.72, roughly 72% of MDLZ's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 28% 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.
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 MDLZ pays, and what that changes
MDLZ 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. MDLZ's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is MDLZ's dividend covered by earnings?
MDLZ's payout ratio of 0.72 means about 72% of earnings are committed to the dividend. That is within earnings but a narrower margin than the sub-0.60 range generally considered comfortable, so a weaker year absorbs more of the cover.
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.
These projections hold the dividend flat, which understates MDLZ if its recent record continues — the payment has increased in each of the last 11 years. Growth is left out rather than estimated because choosing a growth rate, not the arithmetic, is what determines a decade-long projection.
MDLZ dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in MDLZ pay in dividends?
- At MDLZ's current yield of 3.32%, $10,000 pays about $331.95 a year — roughly $82.99 per payment, paid quarterly, or $27.66 a month averaged out.
- What would MDLZ be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in MDLZ would grow to about $13,918 after 10 years, against $13,320 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 MDLZ pay dividends?
- MDLZ pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is MDLZ'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 MDLZ's full payment history before relying on any of it.
- Has MDLZ increased its dividend every year?
- MDLZ has raised its dividend in each of the last 11 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.
