This 5% ASX dividend stock could pay me every quarter like clockwork

The Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR) share price has been steady in recent months and currently trades around $10 apiece.

At this level, the company offers a dividend yield close to 5%, but what really sets it apart from most ASX 200 dividend stocks is the frequency of its payouts. Dicker Data pays dividends every 3 months, which is why income investors often pay close attention to it.

For someone building a passive income stream, getting paid quarterly instead of twice a year can be incredibly appealing.

A company with a strong dividend habit

Dicker Data is one of the largest IT distributors in Australia and New Zealand, supplying hardware, software, and cloud solutions from major global brands, including Cisco, Microsoft, Lenovo, HP, and Dell. Although it may not be a household name, it powers a significant portion of the country's IT channel through thousands of reseller partners.

The company has also benefited from ongoing demand for cloud migration, AI infrastructure, and cybersecurity spending. These tailwinds have supported steady revenue growth across its FY25 results, helping strengthen its cash flow and dividend capacity.

In August, Dicker Data reported:

• Double-digit revenue growth driven by cloud and AI products
• Improved gross margins
• Strong operating cash flow
• A fully-franked dividend of 11 cents per share

And management has been clear that dividends remain a priority, noting that distributions will continue to reflect the company's cash generation.

A quarterly dividend that feels like passive income

The company has paid 11 cents fully franked every 3 months for the last 12 months. This works out to be 44 cents annually. At today's share price, that is close to a 5% fully-franked yield.

For a $10,000 investment, that would translate into roughly:

• $440 a year in dividends, or
• $572 a year, including franking credits

Is Dicker Data still growing?

Even as the company pays out regular dividends, it continues to invest heavily in expanding its distribution network, warehouses, and vendor partnerships. Its exposure to AI-related infrastructure has also been growing, which could be a meaningful driver over the next few years.

Macquarie and other brokers have highlighted Dicker Data as a beneficiary of the multi-year shift toward cloud services, device upgrades, and data centre growth.

Foolish Takeaway

Dicker Data is one of the rare ASX dividend stocks that pays its shareholders every 3 months. With a near 5% yield, fully franked dividends, and a business tied to long-term technology growth, it offers a mix of stability and income that is hard to find.
