Copt Defense Properties's dividend schedule
Copt Defense Properties has paid quarterly across the 34 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on June 30, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Payment follows the ex-date by about 18 days, based on the announcements we hold for CDP.
Increases have a season: of the 4 raises in our record, most take effect with the March payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 4.9%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.
