Bar Harbor Bankshares's dividend schedule
Bar Harbor Bankshares has paid quarterly across the 28 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 20, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, BHB declares a dividend a median of 25 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice BHB gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 31 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 8 raises in our record, most take effect with the May payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 6.3%, effective with the May 2026 ex-date.
