GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL Co's dividend schedule
GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL Co has paid quarterly across the 19 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 17, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 43 announcements we have on file, GIC declares a dividend a median of 10 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice GIC gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 10 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 10 raises in our record, most take effect with the March payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 7.7%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own GIC 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.
- How often does GIC pay a dividend?
- GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL Co has historically paid quarterly, across 50 payments since March 2007.
- How much does GIC pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.28 per share, with an ex-date of August 17, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.12 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does GIC announce its dividend?
- A median of 10 days before the ex-date, across the 43 declarations we hold.
