Perrigo Company plc (NYSE:PRGO) has kept its quarterly dividend at $0.29 per share, a rate it has paid for four consecutive quarters in the trailing window, even as second-quarter net sales fell. At the closing price of $15.06 on 9 October 2026, the trailing dividend yield is 7.70%, calculated on $1.16 of dividends with ex-dividend dates from 10 October 2025 to 9 October 2026 inclusive. The indicated annualised regular yield, based on the latest declared payment, is also 7.70%.

Payments in the window

The four payments were $0.29 each, with ex-dividend dates of 28 November 2025, 2 March 2026, 29 May 2026 and 28 August 2026, and pay dates of 16 December, 24 March, 16 June and 15 September. The record date is treated as the ex-dividend date, since the dividend table lists the two as the same day and US settlement is T+1. No special dividends were found.

The most recent declaration is confirmed on Perrigo's investor site: a release dated 30 July 2026 said the board had approved a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share, or $1.16 annualised, with a record date of 28 August and payment on 15 September 2026.

Business and recent results

Perrigo is an Irish-domiciled consumer self-care company listed in New York, selling over-the-counter health and wellness products. According to market data, second-quarter 2026 net sales, reported on 5 August 2026, were about $1.02 billion, down 3.1% year on year.

Full-year 2026 guidance is for earnings per share of $2.25 to $2.55 and net sales of $4.0 billion to $4.2 billion. If the earnings guidance is on an adjusted basis, as is common for the sector, the $1.16 annual dividend would equal roughly 45% to 52% of the range.

Risks

Falling sales and swings in consumer demand are the kind of pressures that can weigh on a dividend, and second-quarter net sales fell 3.1%.

The Third-Quarter Report and Next Declaration Will Test the 29-Cent Rate

The next milestone is the third-quarter 2026 report, estimated for 4 November 2026 in market data, though the company has not confirmed that date. The measures to follow are any change to guidance, the direction of net sales, and the next dividend declaration, which will show whether the board maintains the $0.29 rate. Shares closed at $15.06 on 9 October, against a previous close of $14.50.
