First Commonwealth Financial Corp /Pa/'s dividend schedule
First Commonwealth Financial Corp /Pa/ has paid quarterly across the 34 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 7, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, FCF declares a dividend a median of 9 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice FCF 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 May payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 3.7%, effective with the May 2026 ex-date.
