Novo Nordisk (NVO) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

Novo Nordisk (NVO) pays its dividend twice a year, usually in April and August.

NVO's last 2 regular dividends were paid in April and August. Companies tend to keep the same months year after year, though the exact dates move by a few days.

As of Nov 6, 2026, NVO's next ex-dividend date hasn't been announced; the most recent was Aug 17, 2026. Based on its semiannual schedule, check back or watch the dividend calendar for the announcement.

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy NVO 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 NVO 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 6, 2026, NVO's most recent dividend was $0.5790 per share, paid on a semiannual basis — about $1.80 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 4.46%.
