Does BK Technologies (BKTI) Pay a Dividend? (2026)

Yes. BK Technologies pays a dividend yielding roughly 0.00% as of October 2026, paid quarterly, four times a year. The most recent payment on record was $0.15 per share with an ex-dividend date of October 24, 2022. Yields move with the share price, so verify the current figure with your broker or BKTI's investor relations page before relying on it.

About 0.00% as of October 2026. For context, the S&P 500 yields around 1.2%, so BKTI yields meaningfully less than the broad market. A higher yield is not automatically better: it can reflect a falling share price as easily as a generous payout, so it is worth checking why the number is what it is.

BK Technologies pays quarterly, four times a year. The most recent payment on record had an ex-dividend date of October 24, 2022. To receive a given payment you have to own the shares before the ex-dividend date, not on the pay date. Confirm upcoming dates on BKTI's investor relations page, because boards can change both the amount and the timing.

The ex-dividend date recorded in our October 2026 data pull is October 24, 2022. The ex-dividend date is the cutoff: buy on or after it and the seller keeps that payment, not you. Buying just before the ex-date to capture the dividend does not create free money, because the share price typically drops by roughly the dividend amount when the stock goes ex.

$0.15 per share in the most recent payment (ex-date October 24, 2022). The equivalent payment a year earlier was $0.10. That is a change of 50.0% year over year.

Yes. The latest payment of $0.15 per share is above the $0.10 paid in the same slot a year earlier, an increase of about 50.0%. One raise is not a policy, though: check the multi-year record on BKTI's investor relations page, since a long streak of increases is what dividend-growth investors actually look for.

We do not have a payout ratio on record for BKTI. The payout ratio, the share of earnings paid out as dividends, is the usual first check on whether a dividend has room to keep growing; you can find it on BKTI's investor relations page or in your broker's fundamentals tab. Nobody can guarantee a dividend: boards cut them, and a high yield is sometimes the market pricing in exactly that. Walnut is not an investment adviser and this is not a recommendation.

Dividends from US common stock are usually qualified, meaning they are taxed at the lower long-term capital-gains rates, provided you held the shares for more than 60 days in the 121-day window around the ex-dividend date. Distributions from REITs, BDCs, and some pass-through structures are generally taxed as ordinary income instead. In an IRA or Roth the question does not arise. See our guide to how dividends are taxed. This is not tax advice.

Most brokers offer automatic reinvestment (a DRIP) that puts each BKTI payment straight back into more shares, often fractional ones. Reinvesting compounds the position and is the standard choice when you do not need the cash yet. Taking the cash makes sense when you are spending the income or want to direct it elsewhere. Either way the dividend is taxable in a taxable account in the year it is paid, even if you never see the money.

Not currently. BK Technologies paid a quarterly dividend for several years, at $0.10 per share through 2021 and $0.15 per share during 2022, with the last payment around October 2022. It then stopped paying as the company worked through its turnaround, and the trailing dividend yield is 0% as of October 2026. Since then management has focused on building cash, which reached a record ~$29.9 million at June 30, 2026 with no debt, and on funding engineering for the BKR 9500 and software platforms. The company has not announced a plan to reinstate the dividend or a share buyback program. Any change would come through a press release or SEC filing, so the latest filings are the place to confirm current status.
