Landstar System Inc's dividend schedule
Landstar System Inc has paid quarterly across the 21 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 18, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 61 announcements we have on file, LSTR declares a dividend a median of 16 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice LSTR gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 23 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 21 raises in our record, most take effect with the August payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 10.0%, effective with the August 2026 ex-date.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own LSTR 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.
- How often does LSTR pay a dividend?
- Landstar System Inc has historically paid quarterly, across 92 payments since August 2005.
- How much does LSTR pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.44 per share, with an ex-date of August 18, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.76 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does LSTR announce its dividend?
- A median of 16 days before the ex-date, across the 61 declarations we hold.
