DividendsDividend Analysis Overview
Yield, growth, payout, free cash flow coverage, recent payment history, and AIQ Dividend context stay together.
Latest announced event
$0.09
CGNX dividend calendar data is shown separately from historical payments so announced dates do not get blended into completed income history.
Dividend growth is temporarily withheld because recent rows show an extreme change that needs data review. Raw vendor values stay visible in the history table; TTM, growth, yield, and calculator context use the guarded analysis value.
Latest dividend record
Aug 20, 2026
Review the latest dividend, yield, available trailing-year income, and coverage context before treating income as durable.
AIQ Dividend bridge
Margins, returns, leverage, and cash conversion support dividend durability.
Yield is more useful when valuation context is not stretched.
Lower drawdown and balance-sheet risk can improve income dependability.
Recent Dividend History
Recent per-share dividends show payment cadence. Trailing-year and growth reads are shown only when the available rows cover a complete comparable window.
Dividend reliability
Active payer
Recent dividend payments are summarized as cadence and coverage signals. Exact rows remain below for auditability.

Dividend yield is only the starting point. Pair the current distribution with payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, balance-sheet risk, and the history of actual payments before treating income as durable.
A higher yield is more useful when earnings and free cash flow cover the distribution. A yield caused by a falling stock price can be a warning, not a bargain.
Stable or rising payments can indicate capital return discipline. Flat, skipped, or missing payments should be read with earnings and cash flow before drawing conclusions.
A low payout ratio can leave room for growth; a high payout ratio can indicate limited cushion. Cyclical companies need more room than stable defensive businesses.

CGNX Dividends FAQ
Does CGNX pay a dividend?
If Cognex Corporation has covered dividend payments, this page shows the latest dividend, yield, ex-date, payment date when available, and recent payment history. If no rows are shown, the current snapshot does not include dividend history for CGNX.
What is CGNX's dividend yield?
CGNX's dividend yield compares trailing dividend payments with the latest available price. It should be read with payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, balance-sheet risk, and dividend history.
Is CGNX's dividend sustainable?
Dividend sustainability depends on whether earnings and free cash flow can cover the distribution through normal business cycles. Review payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, recent payment cadence, debt, and earnings stability rather than yield alone.
When is CGNX's next dividend payment?
When covered, the table shows recent ex-dividend, record, and payment dates. Future payment timing should be confirmed against issuer announcements because schedules can change.
How should investors interpret CGNX's dividend growth?
Rising dividends can indicate capital return discipline, but dividend growth is strongest when it is supported by growing free cash flow, a reasonable payout ratio, and a consistent history of actual payments.
What does CGNX's dividend reliability view show?
CGNX's reliability view summarizes recent payment cadence, trailing income direction when comparable history is complete, payout context where meaningful, and available coverage evidence. It is a screening aid, not a guarantee of future dividends.
