Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is set to pay its quarterly dividend next week, on Friday, July 24, rewarding investors with $0.5 per share.
According to the technology giant’s press release, investors as of July 10 will be eligible for the payment, which remains unchanged from the previous two quarters.
Going by the numbers, 100 ORCL shares will net precisely $50 in quarterly dividends next week.
If the payment remains unchanged in the next quarter, investors will receive $200 in annual dividends this year.
However, looking at historical trends, a dividend increase is likely, considering that the company has increased its dividends every year since it began distributing them, with the exception of 2013, when the payout was nearly 43% lower compared to 2012, as per DivvyDiary calendar.
Oracle stock dividend profile
Currently, Oracle has a forward dividend yield (FWD) of 1.53%, which is noticeably higher than the sector average of 1.37%. On the other hand, its payout ratio is 18.34, versus the industry 27%.
It also has an annual payout (FWD) of $2, and it pays dividends on a quarterly basis: in January, April, July, and October. The stock has an average price recovery of 7.4 days
While the figures are overall positive, the stock itself has suffered quite a lot this year. For context, an investor who placed $1,000 into Oracle at the beginning of 2026 would have seen the investment generate just about $6.6 in dividends, and they would have recorded a total loss of roughly $335.
In other words, in just over two quarters, the investment would have been worth approximately $665, representing a total loss of 33.5%. On an annualized basis, the investment recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -53.66%, highlighting the magnitude of the year-to-date decline.
