Rheinmetall FY dividend/share EUR11.50, estimated EUR10.33

Rheinmetall AG (RHM.DE) announced its 2024 annual dividend of €8.10 per share, with an ex-dividend date set for May 14, 2025, and a record date of May 15, 2025. This represents a 47.85% payout ratio relative to earnings over the past three years, though the most recent fiscal year's payout ratio stands at 0.35%, reflecting a conservative approach to dividend distribution. The current dividend yield, calculated using the stock price of €1,740.00 as of February 2026, is 0.47%.

Historically, Rheinmetall's dividend has shown mixed trends. While the 2024 payout marked a 42.11% increase from 2023's €5.70 per share, the company's five-year average dividend growth rate is 27.54%, and its 10-year average is 39.04%. However, recent performance indicates a decline, with a -0.33% year-over-year reduction in dividend growth for 2024. Analysts note that the company's low payout ratio and 1.76x dividend & capex coverage ratio suggest financial flexibility, though the negative growth rate raises questions about sustainability.

Looking ahead, Rheinmetall's dividend strategy remains annual, with no special dividends declared in 2024. Investors are advised to monitor the company's capital allocation priorities and earnings performance, as these factors will influence future payouts. The next ex-dividend date for 2025 is yet to be disclosed, but historical patterns indicate May as the typical payment window.
