What makes up SIRI's 3.64% yield
SIRI paid $1.08 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $29.70, which is where the 3.64% 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 0.41, roughly 41% of SIRI's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 59% 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.
Telecom dividends are funded from cash flows that carry heavy, continuous network capital spending ahead of them. That spending is not discretionary, which is what makes the payout ratio the number to watch in this sector.
When SIRI pays, and what that changes
SIRI 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. SIRI's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is SIRI's dividend covered by earnings?
SIRI's payout ratio of 0.41 means roughly 41% 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. SIRI has raised its payment in each of the last 3 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.
SIRI dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in SIRI pay in dividends?
- At SIRI's current yield of 3.64%, $10,000 pays about $363.64 a year — roughly $90.91 per payment, paid quarterly, or $30.30 a month averaged out.
- What would SIRI be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in SIRI would grow to about $14,362 after 10 years, against $13,636 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 SIRI pay dividends?
- SIRI pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is SIRI'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 SIRI's full payment history before relying on any of it.
