CNO Financial Group, Inc.'s dividend schedule
CNO Financial Group, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 14 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on September 10, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 55 announcements we have on file, CNO declares a dividend a median of 28 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice CNO gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 15 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 14 raises in our record, most take effect with the June payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 5.9%, effective with the June 2026 ex-date.
