Question 1

When is the next AZN ex-dividend date?

Accepted Answer

The next AZN ex-dividend date on record is Feb 20, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own AZN shares before this date.

Question 2

What is an ex-dividend date?

Accepted Answer

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy AZN on or after the ex-dividend date, the seller — not you — receives the upcoming payment. Buy before it and you're entitled to the dividend.

Question 3

Do I have to own AZN on the ex-dividend date to get the dividend?

Accepted Answer

You must own AZN before the ex-dividend date — i.e. buy at least one trading day earlier. Since the move to T+1 settlement, the record date and ex-dividend date now fall on the same day, so the ex-date is the deadline that matters.

Question 4

How much is the AZN dividend?

Accepted Answer

AZN's most recent dividend was $2.1530 per share, paid on a semiannual basis — about $3.16 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 1.74%.
