Walmart (WMT) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

Walmart (WMT) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in January, April, May and September. The next payment is on Jan 4, 2027, to shareholders who own WMT before the Dec 11, 2026 ex-dividend date.

WMT's last 4 regular dividends were paid in January, April, May and September. 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 WMT ex-dividend date on record is Dec 11, 2026, with a pay date of Jan 4, 2027. To receive the dividend you must own WMT 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 WMT 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 WMT 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, WMT's most recent dividend was $0.2480 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $0.99 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 0.79%.
