Questions
Which stocks went ex-dividend in May 2025?
131 of the US stocks and ETFs we cover went ex-dividend in May 2025. The highest yields, at today's price, are Whirlpool Corporation (WHR, 22.92%), JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI, 10.38%), Dow Inc. (DOW, 8.92%), United Parcel Service (UPS, 6.06%), LKQ Corporation (LKQ, 5.99%).
What is an ex-dividend date?
It is the first day a stock trades without its next dividend. To be paid, you need to own the shares by the close of the trading day before. Buy on the ex-date or later and the seller keeps that payment.
If I buy a stock on the ex-dividend date, do I get the dividend?
No. You have to buy before the ex-date. Since US trades settle in one business day (May 2024), the ex-date and the record date are usually the same day, so the last day to buy is the trading day before.
Does a stock drop by the dividend on the ex-dividend date?
By most of it, not all. On 14,012 ex-dividend days of US stocks and ETFs from January 4, 2016 to September 24, 2026, the price opened a median 85.5 cents lower for each $1 of dividend, and 90.8 cents lower once the S&P 500’s move that day is taken out. It opened down by the full dividend or more 43.7% of the time. Bigger payouts came closer to the full drop: for dividends of at least 1% of the price, the median was 95.0 cents.

How are the estimated dates calculated?
When a company has not announced its next date yet, we step forward from its last ex-dividend date by its usual rhythm — monthly, quarterly, twice a year or yearly — and move weekend dates to the Friday. Estimated dates are marked with a hollow dot and can move by a few days once the company announces them.
Covers the US stocks and ETFs with an analysis page on Portfolio Terminal. Confirmed dates come from company announcements via Yahoo Finance; estimated dates follow each company’s payment rhythm and can move by a few days. Yields use the latest dividend against the last price. Refreshed twice a day. Not investment advice.
