How much does Hasbro pay per share?
The final forecast holds dividends at $2.80 per share in every case. That equals the current $0.70 quarterly rate if maintained. Positive cash generation supports stability, but the absence of formal dividend-growth guidance argues against building increases into the table.

How much would Hasbro's dividend pay you?
$10,000 invested in Hasbro at its 2.6% dividend yield (our report of October 21, 2026) pays $260.00 in the first year, before tax.

Before tax. Past dividend growth is not a promise. Information only, not investment advice.
Does Hasbro's cash cover its dividend?
The next three years were more disciplined. Free cash flow recovered to $590.1 million in 2023 and $760.2 million in 2024, then reached $829.9 million in 2025. Hasbro made no buybacks or acquisitions during 2023–2025. Dividends were $392.5 million in 2025, leaving $432.8 million after dividends and payments to minority owners.
Operating cash flow was $893.2 million in 2025. After $63.3 million of property and equipment spending, free cash flow was $829.9 million. That cash generation remained strong despite the reported net loss because the goodwill impairment reduced accounting profit without reducing cash.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free cash flow | 829.9 | 760.2 | 590.1 | 244.7 | 685.2 |
| − Dividends paid | 392.5 | 389.9 | 388.0 | 385.3 | 374.5 |

| Paid to shareholders | 392.5 | 389.9 | 388.0 | 510.3 | 374.5 |
| Paid out, % of free cash flow | 47.3% | 51.3% | 65.8% | 208.5% | 54.7% |
What this means. In 2022, the company paid shareholders more cash than its business generated, so it had to use savings or borrow money to cover the difference.

What is Hasbro's dividend yield today?
Cash measures complete the picture. Free-cash-flow yield was 5.4%, while real free-cash-flow yield was 4.9%; the dividend yield was 2.6%. These are competing uses of the same cash, not returns to add together. Dividends and buybacks can reward shareholders, but debt repayment and future game investment also need funding.
