Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) is paying this year’s second quarterly cash dividend next Thursday, June 25.
Investors in the company as of June 4 will be eligible for the payment and receive $0.92 for each QCOM share in their portfolio, per the latest announcements.
That is, those holding 100 QCOM shares will receive $92 in dividends next week, which marks a 3.37% increase from the chipmaker’s previous payment distributed on March 26, when investors received $0.89 per share.
Combined with the March payment, the total yearly payout so far in 2026 sits at $1.81, meaning 100 QCOM shares will have assured $181 in cash dividends in the first half of the year.
If the company does not increase the payout before the end of the year, the same investment will have earned $365 with the conclusion of the fourth quarter, or precisely $1 a day over the span of a year.
Qualcomm dividends complement the stock’s growth
Currently, Qualcomm boasts a forward dividend yield of 1.68% and a forward annual payout of $3.68. As such, its yield is slightly above the technology sector’s average of 1.37%.
Moreover, the stock typically recovers within 7.9 days following the ex-date, and the company has been rewarding its shareholders with dividends for 21 years, with 2010 being the only year when the dividend was lowered.
While Qualcomm dividends are solid, most of the stock’s value this year has come from share price appreciation. Notably, with dividends reinvested, a $10,000 investment in the company on January 1, 2026, would have grown to $12,653.
For context, Qualcomm’s stock price alone increased enough to produce a capital gain of $2,563, while dividends contributed an additional $90.43.
