Dividend history — FAQ
How do I find a stock's dividend history?
Search the ticker above or pick it from the lists below. Each dividend history page lists every payment on record with its ex-dividend date, pay date and amount, the change versus the previous payment, and totals by year.
What is the difference between the ex-dividend date and the pay date?
The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for ownership: shares bought on or after it do not receive the upcoming payment. The pay date is when the cash is deposited, typically a few days to a few weeks later.
Why do some ETF distributions change every week or month?
Option-income and bond ETFs pay out the income they earn, which varies with option premiums and interest rates. Their distributions are not fixed like a company's declared dividend, so reductions are routine.
Are the amounts adjusted for stock splits?
Yes. Amounts are adjusted for stock splits and reverse splits, so the full record is comparable per share today. That is why decades-old payments can look very small next to the cash actually paid at the time.
