Alphabet Inc
Alphabet Dividend
Dividends:
In Alphabet’s quarter one 2024 press release, an announcement indicated that the business intends to start distributing dividends to the shareholders.
Over the course of 2024 there were four equal dividend payments of $0.20 cents per share, annualising at $0.80 cents per share. These dividend payments were made in the months of: June 24, Sept 24, Dec 24 and March 2025.
Alphabet’s quarter one 2025 press release indicated a 5% increase to the dividend, increasing the amount to $0.21 cents per share.
There were rumours and excitement circulating during 2024 that this could be a company that potentially surprises the markets with a Special Dividend at some point in the future, only time will tell.
Our main objective of managing a portfolio of selected stocks is to gradually grow dividend income over time, whilst hopefully benefiting from a little share price appreciation along the way. This is one of the reasons behind the inclusion of this equity.
As the portfolio is centred around early retirement and financial freedom, then while selecting new technology stocks we could not ignore this holding, especially now the business has declared shareholder distributions. With dividends being the recent cherry on top for this stock, we are hopeful this could be a good opportunity for income investors, looking at the longer term picture as a good source of dividend growth.
We only invest in full shares so no fractional positions are ever held. Due to Alphabet’s leading market position the aim is to increase holdings during the next few years.
So far we have collected eight instalments of dividends contributing £11.10 to the portfolio. It is a small amount however we only started with six shares. Taking advantage of some market weakness during the summer of 2025 we doubled the holding to twelve shares, with the intention of gradually increasing over the coming months and years.

Dividend Yield: 0.27% (19/03/26)
