Qualcomm to pay dividends on September 24; Here's how much 100 QCOM shares will earn

This quarter’s Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) dividend will be payable on September 24, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 3, 2026. The technology company will issue a cash dividend of $0.92 per common share, marking no change from the previous quarter’s payout distributed on June 25, 2026. Accordingly, investors holding 100 QCOM shares will once again receive $92 in quarterly dividends next week. To round the quarterly dividend up to $100, investors must hold 109 QCOM shares – an investment worth $18,372 based on the September 3 closing price of $168.57.

Combined with the past two quarterly payments, the total yearly payout in 2026 will sit at $2.73 per share on Septemner 24. In other words, 100 QCOM shares will have generated $273 in cash dividends over three quarters. If the payout remains unchanged before the end of the year, the same investment will have earned $365 by the end of 2026. That is precisely $1 a day in passive income over the span of a year.

Qualcomm’s dividend yield currently stands at 2.0%, above the technology sector’s average yield of 1.37%. Moreover, the company has maintained a quarterly dividend schedule and recorded 24 consecutive years of dividend increases. This suggests long-term commitment to shareholder returns. The stock’s dividend yield has ranged from 1.5% to 4.0% over the past 52 weeks, reaching its high on March 3, 2026, and its low on June 4, 2026. Meanwhile, Qualcomm’s forward payout ratio stands at 36.20%, suggesting that the company distributes a relatively modest portion of its expected earnings through dividends. Likewise, Qualcomm’s average price recovery period following a dividend payment is 8.2 days.
