Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in March, June, September and December. The next payment is on Dec 8, 2026, to shareholders who own JNJ before the Nov 24, 2026 ex-dividend date.

JNJ'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 9, 2026, the next JNJ ex-dividend date on record is Nov 24, 2026, with a pay date of Dec 8, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own JNJ 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 JNJ 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 JNJ 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 9, 2026, JNJ's most recent dividend was $1.3400 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $5.36 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 1.94%.
