MDU Resources Group Inc's dividend schedule
MDU Resources Group Inc has paid quarterly across the 39 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on September 10, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 31 announcements we have on file, MDU declares a dividend a median of 27 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice MDU gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 21 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 21 raises in our record, most take effect with the December payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 3.6%, effective with the September 2026 ex-date.
