High quality
Our predicted date is Thursday, October 22. This is when we
expect Blackstone Inc. to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes
ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.
Blackstone Inc. pays dividends quarterly. We hold 75 payments for it, going back to November 2007 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares. We don't publish a predicted next ex-dividend date for BX. As soon as the company declares one it will appear at the top of this page; until then the record below is what we hold.

Blackstone Inc.'s dividend schedule
Blackstone Inc. has paid quarterly across the 18 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 3, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 26 announcements we have on file, BX declares a dividend a median of 8 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice BX gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 10 days after the ex-date.
The most recent increase was 11.2%, from $1.16 to $1.29, effective with the August 2026 ex-date.

Special dividends
Payments well outside BX'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.

Frequently asked questions
- When will BX announce its next dividend?
- We expect Blackstone Inc. to declare its next dividend around October 22, 2026 (the week of October 19, 2026), a high-quality forecast. This is when the board is expected to declare the dividend, not when the stock goes ex-dividend.
- Do I need to own BX 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.

- Blackstone Inc. has historically paid quarterly, across 75 payments since November 2007.
- How much does BX pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $1.29 per share, with an ex-date of August 3, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $5.16 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.

- A median of 8 days before the ex-date, across the 26 declarations we hold.
