Our predicted date is Friday, October 30. This is when we
expect Chevron Corp 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.
Chevron Corp pays dividends quarterly. We hold 229 payments for it, going back to January 1962 — 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 CVX. 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.
