Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own MCS 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.

- Marcus Corp has historically paid quarterly, across 121 payments since July 1987.

- The most recent payment was $0.09 per share, with an ex-date of August 25, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.36 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
