XLV Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

XLV pays its dividend every quarter, usually in January, April, July and October.

XLV's last 4 regular dividends were paid in January, April, July and October. Companies tend to keep the same months year after year, though the exact dates move by a few days.

As of Nov 5, 2026, XLV's next ex-dividend date hasn't been announced; the most recent was Sep 21, 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 XLV 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 XLV 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 5, 2026, XLV's most recent dividend was $0.6420 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $1.81 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 1.36%.
