Which companies pay annual dividends?

A single yearly dividend is common for companies in continental Europe and parts of Asia, and for some holding companies. We classify each name from its actual payment history.

Does one payment a year mean a smaller dividend?

No. The annual total is what matters, not how it is split. A once-a-year payer can yield as much as a quarterly one; compare the trailing yield and the payout ratio, not the cadence.

Annual Dividend Stocks

How This List Is Built

Companies that pay a dividend once a year, ranked by market capitalization so the largest payers lead. The single-payment cadence common across many international markets.

We classify a stock as an annual payer from its dividend payment frequency, then rank by market capitalization so the most significant names lead, with the trailing twelve month yield shown alongside. Refreshed nightly.

How This List Is Built

Companies that pay a dividend once a year, ranked by market capitalization so the largest payers lead. The single-payment cadence common across many international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies pay annual dividends?: A single yearly dividend is common for companies in continental Europe and parts of Asia, and for some holding companies. We classify each name from its actual payment history.
Does one payment a year mean a smaller dividend?: No. The annual total is what matters, not how it is split. A once-a-year payer can yield as much as a quarterly one; compare the trailing yield and the payout ratio, not the cadence.
