About WMT Dividends

This page shows the complete WMT dividend payment history, including ex-dates, payment dates, and per-share amounts. The chart above visualizes the trend of dividend payments over time, making it easy to spot increases, decreases, or irregular payouts.

Walmart Inc. (WMT) is issued by Walmart. Dividend King with 53 consecutive years of dividend increases and a market cap north of $1 trillion. The world's largest retailer with annual revenue over $650B, Walmart executed a 3-for-1 stock split in February 2024. Recent dividend raise lifted the annual payout to $0.99/share (+5% YoY) for fiscal 2027. Yield is very low (~0.7%) because the stock has compounded faster than the dividend — Walmart is a dividend-growth story rather than a high-yield play.

Open the WMT projection tool to model how reinvesting these dividends would compound over time, or check the Total Return Analyzer to see the real yield after accounting for NAV changes.

WMT dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does WMT pay dividends?▾
WMT pays dividends quarterly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment WMT has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own WMT before the ex-date to receive that payment; buying on or after the ex-date means you get the next one instead.
What does the WMT dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend WMT has paid, oriented left-to-right from oldest to newest. A rising trend means distributions are growing; a falling trend means they are shrinking. For WMT, the current yield is roughly 1.21% on a trailing twelve-month basis. Pay attention to the shape of the curve — steady growth is a very different risk profile from a jagged curve with big month-to-month swings, which is common for options-income ETFs.
Are WMT dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for WMT varies. Most traditional dividend ETFs and stocks produce qualified dividends — taxed at the long-term capital gains rate — but some portion may be non-qualified. Check the year-end 1099-DIV for the exact breakdown.
Why did WMT distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in WMT can come from a few sources: timing of the payment relative to the ex-date calendar, special distributions, or shifts in the underlying portfolio. For most non-options-income ETFs, distributions are fairly predictable quarter-over-quarter, with occasional year-end special distributions.
Where does this WMT dividend data come from?▾
Dividend records are sourced from official issuer dividend calendars and cross-referenced against press releases. Ex-dates and payment dates are the official dates as reported. For YieldMax funds specifically, we also ingest the weekly announcement press releases — that is why YieldMax ticker pages show upcoming announcements.
