What this figure is, exactly

It is cash dividends paid per share: what was paid in cash during the fiscal year, as Johnson & Johnson itself tags it in the XBRL data filed with each annual report. Paid and declared can differ in a given year when a quarterly dividend declared in December is paid in January: the paid figure counts it in the year of the payment. The company tags only this concept in its filings.

Each fiscal year is named by the date it ended, because Johnson & Johnson's fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week year ending near 31 December. For each year the figure comes from the 10-K for that year itself, the report that was audited for it; later 10-Ks repeat it as a comparative, and that repetition is used only to detect stock splits. Where a later 10-K tags a year differently without a split, the row says so.

No restatement at a whole-number ratio appears in the series, so no stock split affects these figures.

Where each figure comes from

From the CommonStockDividendsPerShareCashPaid concept in the XBRL financial data Johnson & Johnson files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alongside its Form 10-K (SEC registrant CIK 200406). The "Filed in" column opens the filing index of that 10-K at sec.gov, where the full report and its XBRL instance are public. The data was read from the SEC on 15 October 2026.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Johnson & Johnson pay in dividends per share?

Johnson & Johnson paid $5.14 per share for the fiscal year ended 28 December 2025, as reported in its annual report filed with the SEC on 11 February 2026. The figure is the company's own XBRL tag for cash dividends paid per share; it is not an estimate.

Is this the dividend I will receive?

No. This is the cash dividends paid per share for a whole fiscal year, as the company reports it in its 10-K. What you receive depends on the shares you hold on each record date and on the quarterly payments the board declares after this report. For the next payment date, the source is the company's own dividend announcement, not its annual report.

Why does the fiscal year end in December 2025?

Because that is Johnson & Johnson's fiscal year-end. Many US companies do not close their books on 31 December, and the dividend figure in a 10-K covers the company's fiscal year, not the calendar year. Each row here names the exact date the fiscal year ended.

Where does each figure come from and can I check it?

From the XBRL data the company files with the SEC alongside its 10-K, under the concept CommonStockDividendsPerShareCashPaid. Each row links the filing index of that 10-K at sec.gov, where the full report and its XBRL instance are public. For each fiscal year the figure is the one in the 10-K for that year itself; later filings are used only to detect stock splits, and if one tags the year differently the row says so.
