Record dividends worldwide with extra buybacks

Global dividend payments reached a record $827.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026, a 7.9% increase from the previous year, according to Capital Group's Dividend Watch report. The financial sector remains the largest payer of dividends, but the technology sector is gaining ground, driven in part by Nvidia's new dividend policy.

Capital Group has raised its forecast for global dividends in 2026 to $2.23 trillion, representing a 6.4% growth. In the Spanish stock market, companies such as Neinor Homes, Unicaja, and Banco Sabadell offer attractive dividend yields, with Neinor Homes offering 15% and Unicaja and Banco Sabadell around 7.5%.
