If you are a Dividend Investor investing for income then you might be interested in this page on which you can find a summary of upcoming (and an archive of historic) ex dividend dates.
The ex-dividend date is the first day a stock trades without the dividend attached. So if you’re interested in receiving the dividend, you must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date. If you buy a stock on (or after) the ex-dividend date you are not qualified for the dividend, even though the dividend payment date might be some time in the future.
You can sell a stock on the ex-dividend date and still receive the dividends even though the payment date might be in the future.

thankyou,so much for your service,this x dividend info is great!
would be really good to know also when the dividend is paid too.
again thanks
paul
Thanks for your feedback Paul. If others think that the dividend payment date would be a useful addition then we will consider adding this information too.
This in fo very helpful but would be even moreso if you could give ex div. details for the following 4 weeks – as the nearer the xd. date the price tends to increase. By having the info earler one could poss. buy at a better price.. Thanks
Valid point Rex. I’ll have a look into this.
dividendmax.co.uk, which was trialled by amateur investor provides ex dividend information going forward thirteen weeks.
@Mark Riding – Indeed I did trial Dividend Max, in fact I am now a fully signed up member.
I find the information is extremely useful when trading within the Amateur Investor High Yield Portfolio.
This ex-dividend dates page is intended to be a brief overview of ex-dividend dates. Anyone with a more than passing interest in dividend investing would do well to look into the DividendMax service.
Thought I’d a brief word in thanks for this interesting feature. I’m looking for short term “dividend capture” as well as longer term investment for growth, and it’s useful to have this list to refer to (and I will be checking out Dividendmax.co.uk as well).
The key to dividend capture is finding shares paying decent divs which will (hopefully) recover their rating soon after the inevitable dip at Ex Div date. Easier said than done, no doubt, and picking selectively – and exercising patience – is important. My sole move so far, based on info here, has been in Marston’s which since going ex Div in mid December has performed strongly, so I’m in profit on the share purchase as well as due a nice dividend shortly,
It would be interesting to see some stats on which shares do best in this investment area, but I suspect balance sheet strength is vital.
