Next announcement expected the week of December 14, 2026 High quality
Our predicted date is Wednesday, December 16. This is when we expect Methode Electronics Inc to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is expected to meet.

Methode Electronics Inc's next ex-dividend date is confirmed for October 16, 2026 ($0.05 per share) — you must own the shares before that date to be entitled to the dividend. It is scheduled to be paid on October 30, 2026.
