CME Group (CME) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

CME Group (CME) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in March, June, September and December.

CME's last 4 regular dividends were paid in March, June, September and December. Companies tend to keep the same months year after year, though the exact dates move by a few days.

As of Nov 5, 2026, CME's next ex-dividend date hasn't been announced; the most recent was Sep 9, 2026. Based on its quarterly schedule, check back or watch the dividend calendar for the announcement.

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy CME 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.

You must own CME 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.

As of Nov 5, 2026, CME's most recent dividend was $1.3000 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $5.20 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 1.69%.
