Micron (NASDAQ: MU) is paying its next quarterly dividend next week, on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, with eligible shareholders as of July 6 receiving $0.15 per share.
Investors holding 100 Micron shares will thus receive $15 before taxes from the upcoming payment, according to DivvyDiary statistics at press time.
As such, the upcoming dividend remains unchanged from the previous quarter. However, considering that the company only rarely increases its dividend, the measured approach is to be expected.
Micron dividend gains
Assuming no changes to the payment, Micron investors will receive $0.565 in dividends this year, or $56.5 per 100 MU shares.
Micron dividends thus remain relatively modest compared to some of its peers, but the company’s investment case has always been primarily driven by capital appreciation rather than dividend income.
Indeed, since the beginning of the year, a $1,000 investment in Micron would have tripled in value by press time, underscoring the chipmaker’s powerful year-to-date (YTD) rally.
Namely, during the period, the investment would have generated a price gain of $2,262.84. However, based on the latest dividend data on DivvyDiary, the same investment would have earned just about $0.87 in reinvested dividends.
How does Micron compare to other chipmakers in terms of dividends?
As mentioned, Micron’s quarterly dividends are rather modest in comparison to some other companies in the sector.
For example, Broadcom’s (NASDAQ: AVGO) investors holding 100 AVGO shares received $65 in dividends earlier this quarter, with their year-to-date income climbing to $130.
At the price of $937, Micron also has a dividend yield of about 0.06%, way below the industry average of 1.37%. The average price recovery is 1.2 days following the ex-dividend date.
