Royal Bank of Canada (RYLBF) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

Royal Bank of Canada (RYLBF) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in February, May, August and November.

RYLBF'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 8, 2026, RYLBF's next ex-dividend date hasn't been announced; the most recent was Oct 26, 2026. Based on its quarterly 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 RYLBF 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 RYLBF 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 8, 2026, RYLBF's most recent dividend was $0.2603 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $1.05 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 5.70%.
