Deutsche Bank has a long history of paying out dividends, with its current track record at a minimum of 10 years. Taking data from its last earnings report, calculating for the company's payout ratio shows 32%, which means that Deutsche Bank would be able to pay its last dividend without pressure on the balance sheet.

Analysts estimate the future payout ratio will be 35% over the same time period, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend. XTRA:DBK Historic Dividend February 16th 2026 See our latest analysis for Deutsche Bank Dividend Volatility The company's dividend history has been marked by instability, with at least one cut in the last 10 years. Since 2016, the annual payment back then was €0.75, compared to the most recent full-year payment of €1.00. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 2.9% over that duration. The dividend has seen some fluctuations in the past, so even though the dividend was raised this year, we should remember that it has been cut in the past. The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow Growing earnings per share could be a mitigating factor when considering the past fluctuations in the dividend. Deutsche Bank has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 116% per annum. Earnings per share is growing at a solid clip, and the payout ratio is low which we think is an ideal combination in a dividend stock as the company can quite easily raise the dividend in the future.
