Kroger (KR) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

Kroger (KR) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in March, June, September and December. The next payment is on Dec 1, 2026, to shareholders who own KR before the Nov 16, 2026 ex-dividend date.

KR'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 13, 2026, the next KR ex-dividend date on record is Nov 16, 2026, with a pay date of Dec 1, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own KR 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 KR 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 KR 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 13, 2026, KR's most recent dividend was $0.3900 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $1.56 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 2.23%.
