What the record shows

NWG’s recent average dividend payment rose 46.2%, although its latest payment fell from the previous one. The Financial Services stock has made 20 dividend payments since 2008 and pays semiannually. Over the past year, it paid $0.943 per share, equal to a 5.2% trailing yield.

The one payment in 2020 and three payments in both 2022 and 2023 reflected ex-dates falling into neighboring years, not changes in the rate. Average payment, rather than annual totals, fell, then rebounded, then fell again across that span.

Average payment rose in 2024, and the annual total increased 45.3% in 2025. This marked two consecutive years of dividend growth. The last annual cut occurred in 2023, and NWG carries a dividend safety grade of 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.
