Mckesson Corp's dividend schedule
Mckesson Corp has paid quarterly across the 31 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on September 1, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, MCK declares a dividend a median of 32 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice MCK gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 33 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 15 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 14.6%, effective with the September 2026 ex-date.
