United States dividend calendar
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JNJ | Johnson & Johnson | US | 2026-04-10 | 2026-04-20 | 3.1% |
| XOM | Exxon Mobil | US | 2026-04-11 | 2026-04-21 | 3.4% |
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.
