Does Hamilton Insurance Group (HG) pay a dividend?
Yes. Hamilton Insurance Group distributes a dividend yielding roughly its stated rate as of August 2026. The most recent payment on record was $2.00 per share, with an ex-dividend date of March 6, 2026.
The ~6x trailing multiple looks unusual for a profitable insurer, but a large share of trailing earnings came from Two Sigma Hamilton Fund gains rather than underwriting, and investors generally capitalize hedge fund income at a lower multiple than premium income. Price to book of roughly 1.2x sits in the normal range for a Bermudian producing ~20% returns on equity, which suggests the market is paying for the book and discounting the investment stream. Trailing revenue of ~$2.99B blends net premiums earned with those investment results, so top-line comparisons against pure underwriters are not like for like.

Is the HG dividend covered?
We do not have a payout ratio on record for HG. 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 HG's investor relations page or in your broker's fundamentals tab.
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 HG's dividend means for you
- Income: set by the yield, which moves with the share price.
- 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 HG 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 HG 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 Hamilton Insurance Group (HG) pay a dividend?
+
Yes. Hamilton Insurance Group pays a dividend yielding roughly its current yield as of August 2026. The most recent payment on record was $2.00 per share with an ex-dividend date of March 6, 2026. Yields move with the share price, so verify the current figure with your broker or HG's investor relations page before relying on it.
What is HG's dividend yield?
+
About its current yield as of August 2026. 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 HG pay its dividend?
+
Hamilton Insurance Group's payment schedule is in the history table above. The most recent payment on record had an ex-dividend date of March 6, 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 HG's investor relations page, because boards can change both the amount and the timing.
When is HG's ex-dividend date?
+
The ex-dividend date recorded in our August 2026 data pull is March 6, 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 HG's investor relations page for the next confirmed date.
Is HG's dividend safe?
+
We do not have a payout ratio on record for HG. 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 HG'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.
Are HG 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 HG dividends?
+
Most brokers offer automatic reinvestment (a DRIP) that puts each HG 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 HG pay a dividend?
+
There is no long-standing regular dividend. The board declared a ~$2.00 per share special dividend in February 2026, paid in March 2026 for an aggregate ~$206M, alongside share repurchases. Yield figures quoted on screeners often annualize that special payment, which overstates any recurring income from the shares.
