Frequently asked
Does Carvana (CVNA) pay a dividend?+
No. Carvana (CVNA) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2018, and nothing has been paid since.
How does Carvana return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. Carvana 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 Carvana afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Carvana generated $1.1 billion of free cash flow, which is about $1.50 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.75 per share, a yield of about 1.0% 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 consumer discretionary companies do pay dividends?+
Our Consumer Discretionary 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 Carvana.
