Exxon Mobil share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 49.82% of net profits
Recently Exxon Mobil has paid out, on average, around 49.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Exxon Mobil shareholders could enjoy a 2.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Exxon Mobil's case, that would currently equate to about 0 per share.
While Exxon Mobil's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Exxon Mobil may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Exxon Mobil's most recent dividend payout was on 10 June 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 May 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Exxon Mobil's shares ever split?
Exxon Mobil's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 July 2001. 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 Exxon Mobil shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Exxon Mobil shares which in turn could have impacted Exxon Mobil's share price.
