High quality
Our predicted date is Tuesday, November 3. This is when we
expect Cencora, 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.
Cencora, Inc. pays dividends quarterly. We hold 113 payments for it, going back to November 2001 — 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 COR. 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.

Cencora, Inc.'s dividend schedule
Cencora, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 24 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 14, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 55 announcements we have on file, COR declares a dividend a median of 9 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice COR gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 18 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 18 raises in our record, most take effect with the November payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 9.1%, effective with the November 2025 ex-date.

Special dividends
Payments well outside COR'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 COR announce its next dividend?
- We expect Cencora, Inc. to declare its next dividend around November 3, 2026 (the week of November 2, 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 COR 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.

- Cencora, Inc. has historically paid quarterly, across 113 payments since November 2001.
- How much does COR pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.60 per share, with an ex-date of August 14, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $2.40 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does COR announce its dividend?
- A median of 9 days before the ex-date, across the 55 declarations we hold.
