Starbucks Announces Increase in Quarterly Cash Dividend
10/01/2025
Recognizing its Fifteenth Consecutive Annual Increase
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase in the company’s quarterly cash dividend from $0.61 to $0.62 per share of outstanding Common Stock. The increased dividend will be payable on November 28, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 14, 2025. This change reflects an annualized dividend rate of $2.48 per share.
“We remain committed to returning cash to our shareholders while balancing our investments in our long-term growth strategy,” said Cathy Smith, chief financial officer. “We continue to be pleased with the progress we are making in our Back to Starbucks initiatives and remain confident that the strategic actions we’re taking will drive sustainable long-term growth and healthier profitability.”
Starbucks Coffee Company first initiated its dividend program in 2010 with a quarterly payout of $0.05 per share and has since grown its dividend at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 17.5%. This growth underscores the company’s long-standing commitment to returning value to shareholders.

A 1.6% raise for a company that pays to fly its CEO back & forth to California weekly is a joke. If he can't fix SBUX's woes soon, I'll begin to think it's time to move on.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
