By Upcoming Ex-Dividend Dates, Week by Week
Which stocks go ex-dividend in the next two weeks — the biggest names, per-share amounts, and pay dates — from declared dividend records, refreshed weekly.
Upcoming ex-dividend dates decide who gets paid: own the stock before its ex-dividend date and the next payment is yours; buy on or after it and the seller keeps the cash. This page is a live calendar of the dates ahead — how many names go ex each day this week, the biggest companies going ex over the next two weeks, and the largest per-share payments coming up — computed from declared dividend records and refreshed weekly (the "data as of" stamp below the title tells you exactly when).
Ex-dividend dates this week
Every declared cash dividend with an ex-dividend date in the next seven days, counted by day:
The exact SQL behind every number
SELECT toString(ex_dividend_date) AS ex_date,
count() AS names_going_ex
FROM global_markets.stocks_dividends
WHERE ex_dividend_date > today()
AND ex_dividend_date <= today() + 7
AND cash_amount > 0
GROUP BY ex_dividend_date
ORDER BY ex_dividend_dateThe near-term calendar carries 5 ex-dividend days, starting 2026-07-13 with 64 names. To receive any of these payments, the position must be owned at the close of the trading day before the listed date — the full timing machinery is in our ex-dividend date guide, and the companion on record date vs ex-dividend date explains why the ex-date, not the record date, is the one that matters for buyers.
Big names going ex-dividend in the next two weeks
The largest companies (by market capitalization, $10B and up) with a declared ex-dividend date inside fourteen days — payment per share, pay date, and the indicated annual yield that payment implies at the current price:
The exact SQL behind every number
WITH latest AS (
SELECT ticker, argMax(market_cap, date) AS mcap, argMax(price, date) AS px
FROM global_markets.stocks_ratios
WHERE date >= today() - 10
GROUP BY ticker
)
SELECT d.ticker AS ticker,
toString(d.ex_dividend_date) AS ex_date,
round(max(d.cash_amount), 4) AS per_share_usd,
toString(any(d.pay_date)) AS pay_date,
round(any(l.mcap) / 1e9, 0) AS mcap_bn,
round(100 * max(d.cash_amount) * max(d.frequency) / any(l.px), 2) AS indicated_yield_pct
FROM global_markets.stocks_dividends d
JOIN latest l ON d.ticker = l.ticker
WHERE d.ex_dividend_date > today()
AND d.ex_dividend_date <= today() + 14
AND d.cash_amount > 0
AND d.distribution_type = 'recurring'
AND d.frequency > 0
AND l.mcap >= 10000000000
AND d.ticker NOT IN ('SPCX')
GROUP BY d.ticker, d.ex_dividend_date
ORDER BY any(l.mcap) DESC
LIMIT 12The biggest name on the current list is CAT, going ex on 2026-07-20 with a $1.63 per-share payment landing 2026-08-19 — an indicated annual yield of 0.68% at its recent price. Read the yield column carefully: it annualizes the declared payment at its stated frequency, which is a snapshot arithmetic, not a promise. A big per-share number and a big yield are different things — what is dividend yield unpacks that distinction with market-wide numbers.
The largest per-share payments coming up
Sorted by the size of the check per share (companies of $2B market cap and up, regular payments only):

LIMIT 8WSO leads the window at $3.3 per share (ex 2026-07-16). A reminder that surprises people the first time: on the morning a stock goes ex-dividend, its price opens adjusted down by roughly the payment — the cash is moving from the share price to your account, not appearing from nowhere. Buying the day before the ex-date to "capture" the dividend captures an offsetting price markdown too.
Why calendars disagree — and how to read this one
If you compare this page to a broker's dividend calendar, expect small differences, and know where they come from. Every calendar is built from company declarations, and sources differ in how quickly they ingest new announcements, whether they show amended dates, and whether they include funds, trusts, and foreign listings alongside operating companies (this one includes them all — the counts above are the whole declared tape, not a curated subset). Monthly payers reappear every few weeks by design, and a company can declare a special dividend that shows up here days after a board meeting. When two calendars disagree on a date, the company's own declaration press release is the tiebreaker — this page will converge to it on the next weekly refresh.
How deep does the calendar go?
This page is only as good as the declared records behind it, so here is the depth receipt, computed live:
The exact SQL behind every number
SELECT countIf(ex_dividend_date > today()) AS future_ex_dates_declared,
countIf(ex_dividend_date > today() AND ex_dividend_date <= today() + 7) AS in_the_next_7_days,
toString(max(ex_dividend_date)) AS furthest_declared_date
FROM global_markets.stocks_dividends
WHERE ex_dividend_date > today() - 1
AND cash_amount > 03236 future ex-dividend dates are on file right now, 472 of them inside a week, with declarations reaching out to 2027-11-12. Companies declare dividends one board meeting at a time, so the far calendar fills in as announcements land — and occasionally a declared date is amended. Treat the near dates as reliable and the far ones as provisional.
Which weekdays do ex-dividend dates land on?
One pattern worth knowing when you plan around the calendar — the first half of 2026, counted by weekday:
The exact SQL behind every number
SELECT multiIf(toDayOfWeek(ex_dividend_date) = 1, '1 Monday',
toDayOfWeek(ex_dividend_date) = 2, '2 Tuesday',
toDayOfWeek(ex_dividend_date) = 3, '3 Wednesday',
toDayOfWeek(ex_dividend_date) = 4, '4 Thursday',
toDayOfWeek(ex_dividend_date) = 5, '5 Friday',
'6 weekend') AS weekday,
count() AS ex_dates
FROM global_markets.stocks_dividends
WHERE ex_dividend_date >= '2026-01-01'
AND ex_dividend_date <= '2026-06-30'
AND cash_amount > 0
GROUP BY weekday
ORDER BY weekdayIn H1 2026, Mondays carried 6842 ex-dates and Fridays 6757, against 3819 on Wednesdays — the calendar clusters at the edges of the week. (The handful of weekend-dated records are data-entry artifacts of non-US listings; US ex-dates fall on trading days.)
Ex-dividend calendar FAQ
How do I find upcoming ex-dividend dates?
Companies declare each dividend with its ex-dividend, record, and pay dates, and those declarations flow into market data feeds. This page computes the calendar directly from those declared records — 3236 future dates on file as of the last refresh — and regenerates weekly.
If I buy a stock on its ex-dividend date, do I get the dividend?
No. The ex-dividend date is the first day the stock trades without the payment attached. To receive it, you must own the stock at the close of the trading day before the ex-date; buy on the ex-date itself and the seller keeps the payment.
How long do I have to hold to collect the dividend?
One night is technically enough: own it at the close before the ex-date, and you can sell any time on or after the ex-date and still receive the payment on the pay date. The ex-morning price markdown is the catch — the ex-dividend date guide shows that mechanic on real data.
Why did a date on this page change or disappear?
Declarations are corporate acts: boards occasionally amend amounts or dates after declaring, and newly announced dividends appear as they are filed. The page rebuilds from the current records on each weekly refresh, so it tracks those changes rather than freezing them.
