Does CDW (CDW) pay a dividend, and how much?+
Yes, CDW pays a regular dividend of about $2.51 per share per year (a yield of roughly 1.5%). That is a payout ratio of about 30.0% of earnings, so it is comfortably covered by free cash flow.

The full payout history and per-share figures are on this dividends tab.
Is CDW's dividend safe?+
CDW's dividend looks comfortably covered by free cash flow, with free cash flow covering the payout about 2.7 times over. Intrinsiqq scores its dividend safety at 93 out of 100, weighing the payout ratio, free-cash-flow coverage and balance-sheet strength. Safety matters more than yield: a payout you can rely on beats a high one you cannot.
Has CDW grown its dividend?+
CDW has raised its dividend for at least 12 years in a row, the full span of the dividend history we hold. Over the past five years the dividend has grown at roughly 10.2% a year. Consistent growth is one of the strongest signals of a durable, shareholder-friendly business, so read the streak alongside coverage on this tab.
What is CDW's dividend payout ratio?+
CDW pays out about 30.0% of its earnings as dividends. A lower payout ratio leaves more room to keep raising the dividend and to absorb a bad year, while a very high ratio can signal a payout under pressure. On this measure the dividend is comfortably covered by free cash flow. See the dividend-safety breakdown for the free-cash-flow view, which is often more telling than earnings.
