Marine Systems specializes in shipbuilding for the U.S. Navy, constructing nuclear-powered submarines, surface warships, and auxiliary vessels. This division also builds various commercial ships, such as tankers and cargo carriers. Furthermore, it provides extensive maintenance, modernization, and lifecycle support, along with engineering and design services for both naval and commercial fleets. Combat Systems is dedicated to creating land-based defense solutions, manufacturing a diverse range of products including wheeled and tracked combat vehicles (like the Stryker and Piranha), main battle tanks, armored vehicles, weapon systems, munitions, and mobile bridge systems. This segment also delivers modernization programs, engineering expertise, and ongoing sustainment services. The Technologies division offers sophisticated information technology and mission support services, catering primarily to military, intelligence, and federal civilian clients. Its offerings span mobile communication, computing, command-and-control systems, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Additionally, this segment is deeply involved in cutting-edge areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, DevOps, software-defined networks, "everything-as-a-service" models, defense enterprise office systems, and the assembly of unmanned undersea vehicles. Established in 1899, General Dynamics Corporation is headquartered in Reston, Virginia.
Key Metrics
Current Yield
1.75%
The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.Annualized Dividend
$6.3600
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
Q Quarterly
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
54.6
Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
52
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$278.53 – $368.69
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
37.84%
The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.Years Paying
56
How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.S.A.F.E. Dividend Read
