The second Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) dividend of 2026 is scheduled for next week, June 15, with the ex-dividend date coinciding with the time of writing, June 8.
Compared to the previous payout, issued on March 15, the amount paid will be 4.76% higher, as investors will receive $0.22 per share, up from $0.21 last time.
Thus, 100 GOOGL shares as of press time will net you precisely in $22 in quarterly Google stock dividends next week. Over the course of the entire year, provided the payout remains unchanged, the same investment will yield $87 in dividends.
Google dividend gains
This quarter’s dividend will mark the first payment increase in exactly a year, as the company last increased its dividend from $0.2 to $0.21 on June 16, 2025.
Since then, Alphabet’s dividend and share price performance have delivered solid gains for investors, with shares up 110%. In other words, a hypothetical $10,000 investment a year ago would have grown to $21,113 with dividends reinvested.
Specifically, the investment would have generated $11,060 in capital appreciation, while dividend payments added a further $52.62. Combined, the position would have produced a total gain of $11,113.21, lifting the portfolio’s value by 111.13% to $21,113.21.
Google stock dividends are not the main appeal
Looking at the numbers, it becomes clear that Alphabet’s dividend contribution remains modest compared to its share-price performance.
This is hardly surprising given that the technology giant only recently initiated its dividend program, choosing to maintain a relatively low payout while continuing to prioritize investments in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, and other growth initiatives.
Indeed, according to the latest dividend data, Alphabet maintains a forward payout ratio of just 5.98%, indicating that only a small fraction of its expected earnings is being distributed to shareholders.
The stock’s average dividend recovery period stands at 11.3 days, meaning shares have historically recovered their ex-dividend price adjustment relatively quickly following dividend payments.
