Question 1

When is the next LNC ex-dividend date?

Accepted Answer

The next LNC ex-dividend date on record is Jul 10, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own LNC shares before this date.

Question 2

What is an ex-dividend date?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

Do I have to own LNC on the ex-dividend date to get the dividend?

Accepted Answer

You must own LNC 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.

Question 4

How much is the LNC dividend?

Accepted Answer

LNC's most recent dividend was $0.4500 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $1.80 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 5.29%.
