Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in February, May, August and November. The next payment is on Nov 25, 2026, to shareholders who own CTSH before the Nov 13, 2026 ex-dividend date.

CTSH's last 4 regular dividends were paid in February, May, August 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 CTSH ex-dividend date on record is Nov 13, 2026, with a pay date of Nov 25, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own CTSH 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 CTSH 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 CTSH 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, CTSH's most recent dividend was $0.3300 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $1.32 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 2.01%.
