Despite falling 16.5% so far in 2022, the JB Hi-Fi Limited (ASX: JBH) share price has gained modest value over the past five years — up by almost 65%.
The retailerâs shares hit an all-time high of $56.85 on 30 March but have since tumbled due to extreme market volatility and negative sentiment.
Investors have expressed their concerns about a possible recession due to high inflation levels and rate hikes by the Reserve Bank.
For context, the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) is down by 21% this year.
Nevertheless, while the JB Hi-Fi share price trades near 52-week lows, have the dividends been worthwhile over the long term?
JB Hi-Fi dividend history
Regardless of the companyâs recent share price weakness, the JB Hi-Fi board has continued to increase its dividends to shareholders.
Below, we take a look at the past five yearsâ worth of dividends from JB Hi-Fi.
- September 2017 â 46 cents (final)
- March 2018 â 86 cents (interim)
- September 2018 â 46 cents (final)
- March 2019 â 91 cents (interim)
- September 2019 â 51 cents (final)
- March 2020 â 99 cents (interim)

- March 2021 â $1.80 (interim)
- September 2021 â $1.07 (final)
- March 2022 â $1.63 (interim).
Calculating the above JB Hi-Fi dividends since 2017 gives us a total figure of $9.59 for every share owned. Thatâs almost a quarter of the value of JB Hi-Fi’s last traded share price â $40.77.
Even without factoring in the 63.7% capital gain delivered to investors since 2017, the JB Hi-Fi dividend has shown its worth â particularly since 2021.
