What is a Dividend Calendar?

Dividend-paying companies distribute profits to shareholders on a regular schedule. The ex-dividend date is crucial - you must own shares before this date to receive the upcoming payment.

Understanding Dividend Dates

Four key dates matter for dividend investors.

Declaration Date

When the company announces the dividend amount and schedule.

Ex-Dividend Date

Buy before this date to receive the dividend. The stock typically drops by the dividend amount.

Record Date

The company checks who owns shares on this date (usually 1-2 days after ex-date).

Payment Date

When the dividend is actually deposited into your account.

Dividend Investing Strategies

1

Dividend Growth

Focus on companies that consistently increase their dividends year over year, even if current yield is modest.

High Yield

Target stocks with above-average yields, but verify the dividend is sustainable through payout ratio analysis.

3

DRIP (Reinvestment)

Automatically reinvest dividends to buy more shares and compound your returns over time.
