Lowe's Dividend Scorecard: Rating the Home Improvement Giant's 2% Payout
"Lowe's paid its latest quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share on February 4, 2026, marking another milestone in the home improvement retailer's 65-year streak of consecutive dividend increases. With shares trading at $291.07 as of February 12, 2026, the current quarterly payout translates to a 1.65% annual yield. While that figure trails the broader market's income opportunities, Lowe's dividend story deserves closer examination beyond the headline number."
"The modest yield masks meaningful growth. Lowe's raised its quarterly dividend from $1.15 to $1.20 between Q2 and Q3 2025, representing a 4.3% quarterly increase. Over the past two years, the annual dividend has climbed from $4.35 in 2023 to $4.70 in 2025, an 8% two-year gain. That growth trajectory matters more for long-term income investors than the current yield snapshot."

Peer yields vary widely, and Lowe's strong total-return performance has outpaced several rivals.
