Meritage Homes CORP's dividend schedule
Meritage Homes CORP has paid quarterly across the 37 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on June 16, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 15 announcements we have on file, MTH declares a dividend a median of 26 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice MTH gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 14 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 3 raises in our record, most take effect with the March payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 11.6%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.
