The technology giant Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is scheduled to pay its next quarterly dividend in approximately 10 days – on June 15 – with the ex-dividend date coming on Monday, June 8.
Investors who purchase GOOGL or GOOG stock before the day can expect to receive $0.22 per share they own for a total annual yield of approximately 0.24%.
Thus, owning 100 shares will net traders a $22 payment from a, based on the Google equity press-time price, $36,825 purchase. Over the course of a year, such an investment would lead to receiving $88 in dividends.
2026 Google stock price performance
Elsewhere, major technology companies have maintained comparatively low yields on account of promising strong growth. So far, Google has been largely able to deliver, considering the stock is up more than 200% in the last five years, and more than 120% up in the last 12 months.
The situation in 2026, however, is not as attractive. While in the green year-to-date (YTD), GOOGL shares have rallied a relatively modest 17.65% from $313 to $368.25, only slightly outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 index, which is up 10.58%.
Subsequent months could see a further deterioration of the value proposition, considering that Alphabet unveiled an $80 billion equity fund raise earlier in June in a move that has, on the one hand, caused some debate on the sustainability of the artificial intelligence (AI) buildout and, on the other hand, already caused a 3% weekly retracement.
Still, Google stock likely remains an attractive long-term investment, with the traditionally value-focused Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B) agreeing to participate in the initiative with a $10 billion investment, demonstrating recent decisions have done little to reduce confidence that led to the establishment of the original GOOGL position in 2025.
