German American Bancorp, Inc.'s dividend schedule
German American Bancorp, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 33 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 10, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 55 announcements we have on file, GABC declares a dividend a median of 10 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice GABC gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 12 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 9 raises in our record, most take effect with the February payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 6.9%, effective with the February 2026 ex-date.
