Dividend & Corporate Actions Calendar

The ex-date is the first day a stock trades without the right to the upcoming dividend. To receive the payout you must already own the shares when trading opens on the ex-date, which means buying at least one session earlier. Buy on the ex-date itself and the dividend goes to whoever sold to you. Full definition →

The ex-date is the trading cutoff, the record date is when the company checks its share register to see who qualifies, and the payment date is when the cash or shares actually arrive. The record date sits a couple of days after the ex-date because Philippine trades take that long to settle, and payment usually follows several weeks later.

Typically yes, by roughly the amount of the dividend, because the buyer from that morning onward is buying a company that is about to hand out that cash. This is why chasing a stock purely to capture a payout rarely works on its own: the payout and the price drop largely cancel out before tax.

A stock dividend pays in additional shares rather than cash, which increases your share count without increasing the value of your holding. A rights offer gives existing shareholders the option to buy new shares at a set price, usually below market. A property dividend distributes an asset the company holds, most often shares in a subsidiary.

Yes. Filter down to what you actually care about, by type or by ticker, then use the export button to download an .ics file that imports into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. Re-importing later updates the existing entries rather than duplicating them.

Every entry is a dividend or corporate action disclosure filed by the company itself on PSE Edge, the exchange's own disclosure system. Nothing here is forecast: a future payout appears only once the company has formally declared it.

That approach is called dividend capture, and it rarely survives its own costs. The price usually falls by about the dividend on the ex-date, so the payout and the drop largely cancel, while commission on two trades, the 0.6% transaction tax on the sale, and 10% withholding on the dividend do not. On a small position the costs alone can exceed the payout. Dividend capture explained →

Filter to the stocks you hold and read the ex-dates in sequence: PSE companies pay on no common schedule, so income arrives lumpy unless the holdings are chosen to stagger. Export what you are tracking to your own calendar so an ex-date is not missed by a day, which is all it takes to lose a payout. Project your dividend income →
