How can I know the EXACT day, when dividends(for stocks) will be pay out?

Question

Where I can find such information?!

Answer 1

Click on the following link:

Enter your stock symbol. If you own the stock on the "ex-date" you are entitled to the dividend. The dividend is paid on the "payable date."

Answer 2

First, there is something called the "ex-date", but that is not what you wanted. It is a cut-off date that the company uses for who gets paid a dividend. If you owned the stock on that date, you are on the list to be paid. If you buy after that date, then hold on to it until the next dividend date rolls around (which could be a year or more, but commonly they choose semi-annual, quarterly and even a few have monthly dividend payouts). Some folks have an automatic deposit of dividends, some have reinvestment programs, but if you are waiting on a check in the mail, don't hold your breath because those are the last to go out and not all are necessarily in the post office on the same date, much less delivered to everyone's mail boxes simultaneously. Good luck.

Answer 3

The companies announce in advance a record date and a payment date for each dividend.

Mathew C is wrong. See http://investor.shareholder.com/jpmorganchase/press/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=222086&ReleaseType=Current

New York, December 12, 2006 – The Board of Directors of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) today declared a quarterly dividend of 34 cents per share on the outstanding shares of the corporation's common stock. The dividend is payable on January 31, 2007, to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 5, 2007.

Answer 4

There are three dates to remember. Dividend declaration date, dividend record date and dividend registration date. In US the dividend record date is three days after the dividend declaration date. It is on this date the dividend actually is recorded in the stockholder's name and on the fifth day dividend registration date the dividends are dispatched to the stockholders on the list on dividend record date.

Answer 5

Barrons. Schwab.com if customer. Yahoo finance has some of that. Ex-date more important.
