The Home Depot announced Wednesday that its board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $2.33 per share, marking the company's 158th consecutive quarter of dividend distributions to shareholders.
The payment will be issued on September 17, 2026, to investors whose names appear on the company's books as of the market close on September 3, 2026.
The dividend announcement underscores Home Depot's consistent capital allocation strategy maintained through multiple economic cycles over nearly four decades. At the close of the second fiscal quarter in 2026, Home Depot operated 2,364 retail locations across the United States, plus an additional network of over 1,340 SRS establishments spread throughout all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces, and Mexico. The company's combined workforce exceeds 470,000 employees.
Home Depot's dividend consistency reflects its position as the world's largest home improvement retailer. The company's stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker HD and is included in both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500.
The $2.33 per-share quarterly payment represents the board's confidence in the company's financial trajectory and cash generation capabilities. The dividend program, initiated in 1974, demonstrates Home Depot's approach to returning capital to shareholders while managing operational costs and capital expenditures across its North American operations.
