Annual dividends and growth
Total paid per share in each calendar year. 2026: the solid bar is paid so far; the dashed box on top is expected (1 estimated from the current $0.12 rate, stepping up 14.3% with its usual December raise), not a promise.
Next 5 years if the pace holds
If the recent pace holds — one-off jumps left out. Not a forecast. Pace: +10.53% a year, its typical raise over the last 5 years. From 2029 it slows by a quarter each year, to no less than 5%. Today's $0.48 a year would be $0.70 by 2031 - 1.31% on today's $53.78 price.

How Many ARMK Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $0.48 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 12,500 ARMK shares, about $672,250 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $53.78. $1,000 a month takes about 25,000 shares, about $1,344,500. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Aramark (ARMK) pays $0.12 a share quarterly, $0.48 a year, a 0.89% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $53.78. It has paid since 2014 and raised its annual dividend 2 years in a row.

At today’s rate of $0.12 quarterly and the last close of $53.78, this is what ARMK pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.12$0.04$0.48
100 shares$12.00$4.00$48.00
$10,000 invested (185.9 shares)$22.31$7.44$89.25

25,000 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.00$1,000.00$12,000.00

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 ARMK shares reinvest into 0.22 new shares each payment, about 0.9 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 449 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

ARMK Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

29/100Below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • ARMK yields 0.89% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $53.78.
  • Its own 10-year median is 1.15%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.84% low1.44% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report

How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 11, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 12 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
