Newest 10 of 15 fiscal years; the chart above has the full series. Each payment counts toward the fiscal year it is paid for, so a final dividend paid in spring belongs to the year before. Figures are adjusted for stock splits, so a fall is a cut.
Computed from SEC filings. Ex-dividend and payment dates are not part of those filings, so they are not shown here. This is analysis, not investment advice.
Yield History
Does Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL) pay a dividend?
Frequently asked
Does Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL) pay a dividend?+
No. Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2025, and nothing has been paid since.
How does Comtech Telecommunications return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. Comtech Telecommunications pays no dividend and we do not see a meaningful reduction in share count over the last twelve months, so cash is being retained in the business or spent on growth rather than returned. That is common for companies reinvesting heavily, and it means your return depends entirely on the share price.
Could Comtech Telecommunications afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Comtech Telecommunications generated $22 million of free cash flow, which is about $0.74 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.37 per share, a yield of about 30.0% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
Which technology companies do pay dividends?+
Our Technology sector page ranks the companies we cover by dividend score, which combines payout safety, free cash flow coverage and growth record. If income is what you are after, start there rather than with Comtech Telecommunications.
