Note: The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the total annual dividends per share, including special dividends, by the stock price at the end of the fiscal year. Costco's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to August 31st.

A significant special dividend was paid in fiscal years 2020 ($10.00 per share) and 2023 ($15.00 per share), which substantially increased the dividend yield for those years. The FY25 dividend yield is an estimate based on the annualized regular dividend and the recent stock price. Regular dividend payments have shown consistent growth.
