This market calendar gives a simple view of near-term ex-dividend and payment dates so readers can keep one eye on income timing, not just yield percentages.
| Ticker | Company | Country | Ex-date | Pay date | Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SHEL | Shell | UK | 2026-04-12 | 2026-04-22 | 4.2% |

How to read the dates
The ex-dividend date usually matters first because it decides whether a buyer qualifies for the next payout. The payment date matters for actual cash flow. Both dates matter, but they answer different questions.
