Fanuc is a high-quality franchise in a deeply cyclical end market, and as of October 2026 the market prices it at about 32 times trailing earnings and 28 times forward, a premium that assumes the current upturn in machine-tool and robot demand continues. A debt-free balance sheet with a large cash pile and a 1.8 percent dividend yield support the valuation. Results for the September 2026 quarter on October 23 (consensus revenue about 239 billion yen) and current order intake, particularly from China, are the near-term tests.

Is the FANUY dividend covered?
Fanuc paid out about 58% 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.
What FANUY's dividend means for you
- Income: about $177 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 FANUY 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 FANUY 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.

FAQ
Does Fanuc (FANUY) pay a dividend?
+
Yes. Fanuc pays a dividend yielding roughly 1.77% as of October 2026. The most recent payment on record was $0.17 per share with an ex-dividend date of March 31, 2025. That works out to a forward annual rate of about $0.34 per share. Yields move with the share price, so verify the current figure with your broker or FANUY's investor relations page before relying on it.
What is FANUY's dividend yield?
+
About 1.77% as of October 2026. On a $10,000 position that is roughly $177 of dividend income a year before tax. For context, the S&P 500 yields around 1.2%, so FANUY yields meaningfully more 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.
How often does FANUY pay its dividend?
+
Fanuc's payment schedule is in the history table above. The most recent payment on record had an ex-dividend date of March 31, 2025. 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 FANUY's investor relations page, because boards can change both the amount and the timing.
When is FANUY's ex-dividend date?
+
The ex-dividend date recorded in our October 2026 data pull is March 31, 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 FANUY's investor relations page for the next confirmed date.
Is FANUY's dividend safe?
+
Fanuc paid out about 58% 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 FANUY?
+
At a yield of about 1.77%, roughly $177 a year before tax. 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 FANUY 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 FANUY dividends?
+
Most brokers offer automatic reinvestment (a DRIP) that puts each FANUY 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.
