Eli Lilly and Company share dividends

22%

Dividend payout ratio: 21.96% of net profits

Recently Eli Lilly and Company has paid out, on average, around 21.96% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.7% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Eli Lilly and Company shareholders could enjoy a 0.7% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eli Lilly and Company's case, that would currently equate to about 6.23 per share.

While Eli Lilly and Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Eli Lilly and Company is investing more in its future growth.

Eli Lilly and Company's next dividend payout is expected around 9 June 2026. To benefit from it's next dividend payout, you'll need to buy Eli Lilly and Company shares before 14 May 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Eli Lilly and Company's shares ever split?

Eli Lilly and Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 October 1997. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Eli Lilly and Company shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Eli Lilly and Company shares which in turn could have impacted Eli Lilly and Company's share price.
