Home Depot dividend yield 3.08% $9.32

Benzinga on May 13 published a dividend-focused note built around Home Depot's stock ahead of the retailer's first-quarter earnings release next week. The article said Home Depot's annual dividend yield stood at 3.08%, equal to $9.32 per share, based on market data from the May 13 close. Home Depot's investor relations calendar lists its Q1 2026 earnings release for Tuesday, May 19, at 9:00 a.m. ET. The Benzinga piece did not report a new dividend declaration from Home Depot. Instead, it used the company's existing annualized payout and the stock's closing price to show how much capital an investor would need to target a given monthly income stream. Home Depot pays its dividend quarterly, and market data services list the current annualized payout at $9.32 per share, or $2.33 each quarter. (stockanalysis.com) ### How did Benzinga get to $500 a month from Home Depot dividends? Benzinga's math starts with $6,000 in annual dividend income, which is the equivalent of $500 a month. Using Home Depot's annualized dividend of $9.32 per share, that target implies ownership of about 644 shares. At Home Depot's May 13 closing price of $302.55, that stake would cost about $194,805. (stockanalysis.com) The calculation is mechanical rather than predictive. It assumes the dividend rate stays unchanged and that an investor buys shares at the cited price. It also treats quarterly cash payments as an even monthly income figure for illustration, even though Home Depot distributes dividends four times a year, not every month. ### Is $9.32 a new dividend from Home Depot? (stockanalysis.com) Home Depot has not announced a separate new $9.32 payment. The $9.32 figure is the annualized dividend rate, which reflects four quarterly payments of $2.33 per share. Data services tracking the stock list the most recent ex-dividend date as March 12, 2026, and the most recent payment date as March 26, 2026. (stockanalysis.com) The distinction matters because annual yield changes with the stock price even when the cash dividend does not. Benzinga's 3.08% figure matched market-data snapshots for May 13, when Home Depot closed at $302.55, down $7.91 on the day, according to stock data pages cited above. ### Why did the note appear before earnings? (stockanalysis.com) Home Depot is scheduled to report first-quarter 2026 results on May 19, according to the company's investor relations site. That timing put the dividend-income article in front of a known earnings catalyst for the stock. Analyst estimates compiled by MarketBeat call for quarterly earnings per share of $3.42 on revenue of about $41.64 billion, though those figures come from third-party consensus data rather than Home Depot itself. (stockanalysis.com) Home Depot's investor calendar also shows its annual meeting of shareholders on May 21, two days after the earnings release. (ir.homedepot.com) ### What should investors watch next? May 19 is the next dated event on Home Depot's public calendar. The company says it will release first-quarter 2026 results at 9:00 a.m. ET that day, and May 21 is set for the annual meeting of shareholders. Any update on Home Depot's dividend policy, payout level or outlook would typically come through company filings, earnings materials or board declarations rather than through a third-party income illustration. (marketbeat.com) The next official milestones investors can verify are the May 19 earnings release and the May 21 shareholder meeting on Home Depot's investor relations site. (ir.homedepot.com)
