Special dividends
Payments well outside BAX'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.

| Oct 1, 1996 | $3.60 |
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own BAX 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 BAX pay a dividend?
- Baxter International Inc has historically paid quarterly, across 160 payments since March 1982.
- How much does BAX pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.01 per share, with an ex-date of August 28, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.04 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
