Alcoa Corp's dividend schedule
Alcoa Corp has paid quarterly across the 64 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 11, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 20 announcements we have on file, AA declares a dividend a median of 12 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice AA gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 20 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 3 raises in our record, most take effect with the January payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount.

Special dividends
Payments well outside AA's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.
| Ex-date | Amount |
|---|---|
| Jan 29, 1990 | $1.80 |
| Jan 30, 1989 | $1.52 |
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own AA before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.
- How often does AA pay a dividend?
- Alcoa Corp has historically paid quarterly, across 241 payments since February 1962.
- How much does AA pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.10 per share, with an ex-date of August 11, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.40 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does AA announce its dividend?
- A median of 12 days before the ex-date, across the 20 declarations we hold.
