What the record shows
GSK’s quarterly dividend record extends back to 1987 and includes 131 payments. The Healthcare stock paid $1.816 per share over the past year, for a trailing yield of 3.68%. Its recent average payment was 1.1% above the prior average, indicating a modest increase despite variation between individual quarterly payments.
Annual dividends rose in the first two years of the recent full-year span, fell in each of the next two, and increased in both of the latest two. The annual total reached a high of $2.208 before the consecutive declines took it to a low of $1.389.
Growth resumed after those declines, with the annual total rising in each of the next two years to $1.675 in 2025. That produced a two-year dividend growth streak, while 2023 remains the last annual cut year. GSK’s dividend safety grade is C.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
