Gilead Sciences, Inc.'s dividend schedule
Gilead Sciences, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 11 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on June 15, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 45 announcements we have on file, GILD declares a dividend a median of 46 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice GILD 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 11 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 3.8%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.
