Alphabet Inc
Alphabet Dividend
In Alphabet’s first-quarter 2024 press release, the company announced plans to begin distributing dividends to shareholders. Over 2024, four equal dividend payments of $0.20 per share were made, totalling $0.80 annually. These payments occurred in June, September, December 2024, and March 2025.
Alphabet’s first-quarter 2025 press release revealed a 5% increase in the dividend, raising it to $0.21 per share. Looking ahead to 2026, Alphabet’s recent announcement further increased the quarterly dividend by 5%, reaching $0.22 per share.
Over the past three years, we’ve witnessed a modest yet consistent annual 5% dividend increase. This growth trajectory is promising and aligns with our investment strategy.
For reference, here’s a breakdown of the last three years’ annual dividend payments:
– 2026: Projected $0.88 per share
– 2025: $0.84 per share
– 2024: $0.80 per share
Throughout 2024, there were rumours and excitement about Alphabet potentially surprising the markets with a special dividend in the future. Only time will tell.
Our primary goal in managing a portfolio of selected stocks is to gradually increase dividend income while also benefiting from potential share price appreciation. This stock fits well within our portfolio due to these reasons.
Given our portfolio’s focus on early retirement and financial freedom, we couldn’t overlook Alphabet’s recent announcement of shareholder distributions. The recent dividend increase further enhances its appeal as a potential income investment with long-term growth prospects.
We only invest in full shares, so fractional positions are never held. Alphabet’s dominant market position motivates us to increase our holdings in the coming years.
We’ve collected nine instalments of dividends so far, adding £13.05 to our portfolio. While it’s a small sum, we only started with six shares. Taking advantage of some market weakness in summer 2025, we doubled our holding to twelve shares. Our plan is to gradually increase this over the coming months and years.
As of 17 June 2026:
– PE: 27.73
– Forward PE: 29.17
– Dividend Yield: 0.24%
