Microsoft Sets September Dividend Payment at $0.91 per Share
Microsoft has announced its upcoming quarterly dividend payment for September 10, 2026. Investors holding Microsoft shares by August 20 will receive $0.91 per share, with a total of $91 in dividend income for 100 shares. This payout is consistent with the previous three quarters and represents no change from June 11, 2026, March 12, 2026, and December 11, 2025.
The tech giant has maintained one of the most consistent dividend records in the technology sector, with a forward dividend yield of 0.75% and an annualized dividend of $3.64 per share. Microsoft has increased its dividend for 24 consecutive years, giving it significant room to continue funding dividend growth while investing in its core businesses.
Historically, Microsoft's shares have recovered quickly after going ex-dividend, with an average price recovery time of 1.7 days. Even in 2026, which has been one of Microsoft's weakest years on record, the stock has managed to recover, sitting up around 3% year-to-date.
