GE HealthCare Raises Q3 Dividend 14% to $0.04 a Share
Key Facts
GE HealthCare's board declared a cash dividend of $0.04 a share for the third quarter of 2026, up 14% from the previous quarter. It is payable November 13, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 23, 2026.
The previous quarterly dividend was $0.035 a share, so the decision adds $0.005 for each share held. The company reports the increase as 14% after rounding; the change calculated from the two amounts is about 14.3%.
GEHC closed at $64.81 on September 21, 2026, after trading between $63.71 and $65.1. At that closing price, the $0.04 dividend represents a simple yield of about 0.06% for this payment alone; that calculation does not assume the amount will be repeated in future quarters.
A higher dividend increases the cash received per share, but its income appeal also depends on the stock price and competing yields. The Federal Reserve raised its target range by 0.25 percentage point to 3.75%-4% on September 16, making comparisons between GEHC's yield and fixed-income returns more relevant, while the dividend announcement alone does not establish a broader improvement in cash flow.
