Does Embraer (EMBJ) pay a dividend?
Yes. Embraer distributes a dividend yielding roughly 1.07% as of August 2026, paid once a year. The most recent payment on record was $0.22 per share, with an ex-dividend date of July 2, 2026. Annualized, that is about $0.78 per share.
Embraer had not yet reported second-quarter 2026 financials as of early August, with the release scheduled for August 10, so the latest full income statement is 1Q26: revenue of ~$1,447 million, up ~31% and the highest first quarter on record, adjusted EBIT of ~$94.0 million at a ~6.5% margin, and adjusted net income of ~$27.7 million. The ADSs are up substantially over the past year and sit inside a 52-week range of roughly $54 to $81, with average sell-side price targets near $81. The trailing multiple looks demanding against a business earning single-digit EBIT margins, which is largely why the forward figure compresses to the low twenties on the guided ramp.

Is the EMBJ dividend covered?
Embraer paid out about 35% of its earnings as dividends, so the payout is comfortably covered. That is the range most established dividend payers sit in: enough profit is retained to keep funding the business, with room to raise the dividend if earnings grow.
Coverage is the question worth asking before yield. A dividend is only as good as the earnings behind it, and the highest yields on any screen are often the ones closest to being cut. Walnut is informational and is not an investment adviser.
How the EMBJ dividend has changed
The latest payment of $0.22 per share compares with $0.0090 in the equivalent payment a year earlier (May 15, 2026). We are not quoting a growth rate from those two figures, because a change that large usually means a share split or a gap in the stored history rather than a real raise.
A single year says little on its own. What dividend-growth investors track is the multi-year record: whether the payout has risen through a downturn, and whether the raises have kept pace with inflation. That record is on EMBJ's investor relations page.
What EMBJ's dividend means for you
- Income: about $107 a year per $10,000 invested, before tax.
- Yield is a ratio, not a payment: it rises when the share price falls. A jump in yield without a raise in the dividend means the stock got cheaper, which may or may not be good news.
- Total return: for EMBJ the dividend is one part of return and price change is usually the larger part. Compare total return, not yield, when weighing it against another holding.
- Reinvest or take the cash: a DRIP compounds the position automatically; taking the cash gives you income now. Either way it is taxable in a taxable account.
- If you want more yield: dedicated dividend names and funds target higher, steadier payouts. See the best dividend stocks and best dividend ETFs.
How EMBJ dividends are taxed
Dividends from US common stock are usually qualified, which means they are taxed at long-term capital-gains rates rather than as ordinary income, as long as you held the shares for more than 60 days in the 121-day window around the ex-dividend date. Distributions from REITs and BDCs generally do not qualify and are taxed as ordinary income. Inside an IRA, Roth, or 401(k) none of this applies while the money stays in the account. Full detail is in how dividends are taxed. This is not tax advice.
The bottom line on the EMBJ dividend
Embraer (EMBJ) pays about 1.07%, or roughly $0.78 per share a year. At that level the dividend is a modest supplement rather than the reason to own it: the case rests on total return.

FAQ
Does Embraer (EMBJ) pay a dividend?
+
Yes. Embraer pays a dividend yielding roughly 1.07% as of August 2026, paid once a year. The most recent payment on record was $0.22 per share with an ex-dividend date of July 2, 2026. That works out to a forward annual rate of about $0.78 per share. Yields move with the share price, so verify the current figure with your broker or EMBJ's investor relations page before relying on it.
What is EMBJ's dividend yield?
+
About 1.07% as of August 2026. On a $10,000 position that is roughly $107 of dividend income a year before tax. For context, the S&P 500 yields around 1.2%, so EMBJ yields about the same as 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.
How often does EMBJ pay its dividend?
+
Embraer pays once a year. The most recent payment on record had an ex-dividend date of July 2, 2026. 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 EMBJ's investor relations page, because boards can change both the amount and the timing.
When is EMBJ's ex-dividend date?
+
The ex-dividend date recorded in our August 2026 data pull is July 2, 2026. 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. Check EMBJ's investor relations page for the next confirmed date.
Has Embraer raised its dividend recently?
+
Yes. The latest payment of $0.22 per share is above the $0.0090 paid in the same slot a year earlier. One raise is not a policy, though: check the multi-year record on EMBJ's investor relations page, since a long streak of increases is what dividend-growth investors actually look for.
Is EMBJ's dividend safe?
+
Embraer paid out about 35% of its earnings as dividends, so the payout is comfortably covered. That is the range most established dividend payers sit in: enough profit is retained to keep funding the business, with room to raise the dividend if earnings grow. 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.
How much would I earn in dividends from a $10,000 position in EMBJ?
+
At a yield of about 1.07%, roughly $107 a year before tax, spread across 1 payment. That is a snapshot, not a promise: the amount changes when the company changes its payout, and your yield on cost is fixed at the price you paid, not at today's price.
Are EMBJ dividends qualified for tax purposes?
+
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.
Should I reinvest EMBJ dividends?
+
Most brokers offer automatic reinvestment (a DRIP) that puts each EMBJ 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.
Does EMBJ pay a dividend?
+
Yes, but it is small. Brazilian corporate law requires a minimum payout of 25% of net income, which Embraer meets through quarterly Interest on Equity declarations plus a top-up dividend, typically settled in a single annual payment. Gross distributions for fiscal 2025 worked out to roughly $0.52 per ADS, under a 1% yield. The company has been returning more cash through buybacks, spending ~$184 million on repurchases in 1Q26 alone.
