CMS Energy (CMS) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

CMS Energy (CMS) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in February, May, September and November. The next payment is on Dec 1, 2026, to shareholders who own CMS before the Nov 6, 2026 ex-dividend date.

CMS's last 4 regular dividends were paid in February, May, September and November. Companies tend to keep the same months year after year, though the exact dates move by a few days.

As of Nov 5, 2026, the next CMS ex-dividend date on record is Nov 6, 2026, with a pay date of Dec 1, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own CMS shares before this date.

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy CMS 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 CMS 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, CMS's most recent dividend was $0.5700 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $2.28 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 3.21%.
