Special dividends
Payments well outside LDOS's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.

Frequently asked questions
- When will LDOS announce its next dividend?
- We expect Leidos Holdings, Inc. to declare its next dividend around October 30, 2026 (the week of October 26, 2026), a high-quality forecast. This is when the board is expected to declare the dividend, not when the stock goes ex-dividend.
- Do I need to own LDOS before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.

- Leidos Holdings, Inc. has historically paid quarterly, across 60 payments since April 2012.
- How much does LDOS pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.43 per share, with an ex-date of June 15, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.72 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
