Kinder Morgan, Inc.'s dividend schedule
Kinder Morgan, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 15 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 3, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, KMI declares a dividend a median of 12 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice KMI gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 17 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 9 raises in our record, most take effect with the April payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 1.7%, effective with the May 2026 ex-date.
