This quarter’s Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) dividend will be payable on September 24, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 3, 2026.
The technology company will issue a cash dividend of $0.92 per common share, marking no change from the previous quarter’s payout distributed on June 25, 2026.
Accordingly, investors holding 100 QCOM shares will once again receive $92 in quarterly dividends next week. To round the quarterly dividend up to $100, investors must hold 109 QCOM shares – an investment worth $18,372 based on the September 3 closing price of $168.57.
Combined with the past two quarterly payments, the total yearly payout in 2026 will sit at $2.73 per share on Septemner 24. In other words, 100 QCOM shares will have generated $273 in cash dividends over three quarters.
If the payout remains unchanged before the end of the year, the same investment will have earned $365 by the end of 2026. That is precisely $1 a day in passive income over the span of a year.
