Kaiser Aluminum Corp's dividend schedule
Kaiser Aluminum Corp has paid quarterly across the 19 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 24, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, KALU declares a dividend a median of 12 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice KALU gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 22 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 12 raises in our record, most take effect with the January payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount.
