Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own FRD 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.

- Friedman Industries Inc has historically paid quarterly, across 161 payments since January 1987.
- How much does FRD pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.04 per share, with an ex-date of July 17, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.16 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
