What makes up SONY's 0.67% yield
SONY paid $0.16 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $23.59, which is where the 0.67% 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 SONY and the smaller one; the figures below are not a total-return estimate.
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 SONY pays, and what that changes
SONY pays semi-annual, which is unusual among US-listed payers and has two consequences the annual figure hides. The "monthly average" column is an average and nothing more — no cash arrives in most months — and the gap between payments means a holder buying between them waits longer for the first one.
Infrequent payments also compound marginally more slowly when reinvested, since each distribution spends longer as cash before it is put back to work. The reinvestment figures above use SONY's real schedule rather than assuming quarterly payments.
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. SONY's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is SONY's dividend covered by earnings?
SONY's payout ratio is negative, which means the dividend is being paid while the company reports a loss. A dividend can be funded from cash reserves or borrowing through a loss-making period, but not from profits that do not exist — and every projection above assumes the current payment continues indefinitely.
The figures hold the dividend flat. SONY 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.
SONY dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in SONY pay in dividends?
- At SONY's current yield of 0.67%, $10,000 pays about $67.16 a year — roughly $33.58 per payment, paid semi-annual, or $5.60 a month averaged out.
- What would SONY be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in SONY would grow to about $10,693 after 10 years, against $10,672 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 SONY pay dividends?
- SONY pays semi-annual — 2 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is SONY'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 SONY's full payment history before relying on any of it.
