Does International Consolidated Airlines Group (ICAGY) Pay a Dividend? (2026)

Yes. International Consolidated Airlines Group pays a dividend yielding roughly 2.12% as of October 2026, paid twice a year. The most recent payment on record was $0.12 per share with an ex-dividend date of June 26, 2026. That works out to a forward annual rate of about $0.23 per share. Yields move with the share price, so verify the current figure with your broker or ICAGY's investor relations page before relying on it.

About 2.12% as of October 2026. On a $10,000 position that is roughly $212 of dividend income a year before tax. For context, the S&P 500 yields around 1.2%, so ICAGY 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.

International Consolidated Airlines Group pays twice a year. The most recent payment on record had an ex-dividend date of June 26, 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 ICAGY'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 June 26, 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.

$0.12 per share in the most recent payment (ex-date June 26, 2026), which annualizes to about $0.23 per share. The equivalent payment a year earlier was $0.14. That is a change of -16.5% year over year.

Not in the last year. The latest payment of $0.12 per share is below the $0.14 paid a year earlier. A flat dividend is not necessarily a warning sign, but it does mean the income is losing ground to inflation.

International Consolidated Airlines Group paid out about 15% of its earnings as dividends, so the payout is very well covered. A low ratio means the dividend has plenty of room and the company is keeping most of its profit to reinvest or buy back stock, which is also why the yield is modest. 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.

At a yield of about 2.12%, roughly $212 a year before tax, spread across 2 payments. 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.

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 ICAGY 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.

Yes. IAG reinstated its dividend in 2024 and pays an interim and a final dividend each year; the final 2025 dividend was paid in June 2026. On top of that, it has run a series of share buybacks, most recently a €1.5 billion excess cash return announced in February 2026, of which about €800 million had been completed by mid-year and the rest is due by February 2027. For ICAGY holders, dividends are passed through by the depositary bank in dollars, net of fees, and Spanish withholding tax may apply because IAG is a Spanish company. Part of that tax can sometimes be reclaimed or credited against US tax, depending on the holder's situation. The dividend yield has typically sat in the low single digits, so most of the cash return comes through buybacks.
