How the three dates work
Ex-dividend date. The entitlement cutoff. Own the shares before this day and the payment is yours.
Record date. Usually the next business day, when the shareholder registry is checked. You do not need to act on it.
Payment date. When cash arrives, typically days to weeks after the ex-date depending on the fund.
Projected rows are estimates from MSFT’s historical quarterly spacing and the last confirmed amount. They become official only when the sponsor declares them.

MSFT ex-dividend FAQ
When is the next MSFT ex-dividend date?
The next MSFT ex-dividend date is estimated around Aug 20, 2026 (in about 35 days), based on its quarterly payment pattern. The official date is set when the sponsor declares the dividend, usually shortly before payment.
What is an ex-dividend date?
The ex-dividend date is the cutoff for receiving the next payment. Buy the shares before the ex-date and you receive the dividend; buy on or after it and the seller keeps it. The share price typically opens lower by roughly the dividend amount on the ex-date.
What is the difference between ex-date, record date and payment date?
The ex-date decides who is entitled to the dividend. The record date, usually one business day later, is when the broker registry is checked. The payment date, days or weeks later, is when cash actually lands in your account.
Do I get the dividend if I sell on the ex-dividend date?
Yes. If you own the shares at market close the day before the ex-date, you can sell on the ex-date itself and still receive the payment on the payment date.
How much will the next MSFT dividend be?
The last confirmed payment was $0.9100 per share. Given the recent growth trend, the next payment is likely similar or slightly higher, but amounts are not guaranteed until declared.
