First Community Corp /Sc/'s dividend schedule
First Community Corp /Sc/ has paid quarterly across the 24 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 4, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 55 announcements we have on file, FCCO declares a dividend a median of 12 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice FCCO 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 13 raises in our record, most take effect with the January payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 6.3%, effective with the August 2026 ex-date.
