PG Dividend — Quick Facts
  • Pays: quarterly — 240 dividends in our record since January 1967, the deepest record on our site alongside JNJ's.
  • The tradition: P&G's declared-raise streak is one of the two longest in the market, running past six decades by the company's count; our calendar-year sums show 22 straight rising years, with earlier flat spots caused by payment-date shifts, not policy.
  • Current rate: $1.089 per quarter after the April 2026 raise (from $1.057, about 3%) — $4.29 over the trailing twelve months.
  • Today's yield: about 3.0% on the recent ~$145.40 share price — unusually generous by PG's own historical standards.
  • What funds it: Tide, Pampers, Gillette, Crest — products repurchased weekly by billions of people, the steadiest cash flow consumer capitalism produces.

Split adjustments and shifting payment dates make calendar-year sums an imperfect streak counter for PG — a January payment sliding into December books four checks into one year and four into another. The company's own declaration record is the cleaner series, and it has risen annually since the 1950s. Both tellings agree on the present: the raises continue, most recently 3% in April 2026.

Every Dividend Payment, Over Time

The Other Six-Decade Compounder — at Twice the Yield

PG and JNJ are the market's reigning raise dynasties, but today they're priced differently: PG's roughly 3.0% yield is about double JNJ's, the result of a share price that has lagged while the payout kept climbing to $4.29 over the trailing year. For dividend-growth buyers that combination — dynasty streak, elevated starting yield — is the profile screens hunt for; the honest counterpoint is that consumer-staples growth is slow, and the market knows it.

The compare tool draws PG against JNJ, KO, or PEP — the whole staples royalty in one chart — and the estimator below compounds the current 3% at PG's raise pace.

When Is PG's Next Ex-Dividend Date?

PG pays quarterly — usually going ex-dividend in January, April, July, and October. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from PG's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.

Two Hundred Forty Payments of Toothpaste Money

Our Procter & Gamble record opens in January 1967 and holds 240 quarterly dividends — checks funded by Tide, Pampers, Gillette, and Crest, products the world buys on autopilot. The trailing year paid $4.29 per share, and April 2026 brought the latest raise, roughly 3%, to $1.089 a quarter. On the recent $145.40 price that's about a 3.0% yield — historically rich for this stock.

Counting a Six-Decade Streak Honestly

P&G's declared-raise tradition stretches past sixty years — alongside JNJ, the longest in the market. Our own calendar-year arithmetic shows 22 consecutive rising years, and the difference is worth explaining rather than hiding: when a January payment slides into late December, one calendar year books five checks and another books three, creating phantom flat years in summed data. The declarations themselves never stopped rising. We show our computation because that's the site's rule; we note the company's cleaner count because it's the truer streak.

Where PG Fits Now

Among the dynasty stocks, PG is currently the income pick: double JNJ's yield, a hair above KO's, with the same generational reliability. Against this site's engineered high-yielders it remains the tortoise — the compare tool shows exactly what the extra 7 points of option-fund yield cost in price risk, and the estimator below compounds the tortoise's pace.
