Heritage Financial Corp /Wa/'s dividend schedule
Heritage Financial Corp /Wa/ has paid quarterly across the 28 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 5, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 58 announcements we have on file, HFWA declares a dividend a median of 13 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice HFWA 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 5 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 4.2%, effective with the August 2026 ex-date.
