Acuity Inc. (De)'s dividend schedule
Acuity Inc. (De) has paid quarterly across the 24 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 17, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, AYI declares a dividend a median of 18 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice AYI gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 17 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 3 raises in our record, most take effect with the February payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 17.6%, effective with the February 2026 ex-date.

Special dividends
Payments well outside AYI'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.
