BlackRock to pay dividends next week; Here’s how much 100 BLK shares will earn

June 20, 2026

BlackRock’s (NYSE: BLK) next quarterly dividend of 2026 is coming in exactly one week, on June 23, with the ex-dividend date as of June 5.

As per the current DivvyDiary estimates, investors will receive $5.73 per share, meaning the payment remains unchanged from the last one issued on March 24.

Accordingly, 100 BLK shares will generate $573 in BlackRock stock dividends this quarter, too. If the hedge fund does not increase the payout by the end of 2026, the yearly amount will come in at $2,292.

BlackRock dividend gains

This year, BlackRock’s dividend provided a modest cushion for investors. Notably, a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on Jan 1 would have generated $91.36 in dividends, assuming dividends were reinvested. However, the fund’s shares have declined enough over the same period to result in a capital loss of around $386. 

In other words, having factored in dividend income, the investment would be worth just above $9,704, representing a total loss of more or less $295 and a year-to-date loss of almost 3%.

BlackRock payout ratio and yield

The asset manager currently offers a dividend yield of 2.25%, equivalent to an annual payout of $23.47 per share, and it has raised its dividend for 17 consecutive years. With a forward payout ratio of 37.79%, BlackRock is distributing less than half of its earnings as dividends, suggesting the payout remains well covered by profits.

The company pays dividends quarterly and has historically delivered a financial-sector yield in line with or below many traditional income stocks (the average is 3.18%). This reflects a focus on dividend growth alongside business expansion. 

BlackRock’s average dividend recovery period stands at 5.7 days, meaning the stock has historically regained the value lost on the ex-dividend date in less than a week on average.
