Dividend Calendar - Today Markets

A dividend calendar is a tool that lists upcoming dividend-related events for publicly traded companies, including key dates such as the declaration date, ex-dividend date, record date, and payment date. It shows which companies are paying dividends, how much they are paying per share, and when investors need to own the stock to qualify for the dividend. This calendar is especially useful for income-focused investors and traders who incorporate dividend strategies into their portfolios.

For traders and investors, a dividend calendar helps identify opportunities to earn passive income or time trades around dividend events. For example, some traders use dividend capture strategies, buying a stock just before the ex-dividend date to collect the dividend and then selling shortly after. Others use the calendar to avoid holding stocks through dividend drops if their strategy is focused on capital gains rather than income. By staying informed of dividend schedules, traders can better manage their positions, plan entry and exit points, and align their strategies with market behavior around dividend events.
