Oracle Corp (ORCL) has declared a dividend of $0.50 per share, payable to shareholders of record on January 22, 2026. The ex-dividend date is set for January 8, 2026, meaning investors must own shares before this date to receive the dividend. Shares purchased on or after January 8 will not be entitled to this payment.
With a dividend yield of 1.10%, Oracle continues its trend of regular quarterly dividend payments, providing consistent income to shareholders. The company's current yield reflects its annual dividend income relative to the stock price.
Oracle operates in the technology sector, engaging in the provision of products and services that address corporate information technology needs. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the firm employs 162,000 full-time employees and operates through three primary segments: cloud and license, hardware, and services.

The announcement highlights Oracle's ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders, which can be appealing to income-focused investors. However, it's important to note that dividends are not guaranteed and can be adjusted based on the company's performance and management decisions. Investors should consider Oracle's dividend history, payout ratio, and overall financial health when assessing the sustainability of its dividend payments.
