ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc pays dividends quarterly. We hold 110 payments for it, going back to August 1999 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares.
