Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own MTR 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.
- How often does MTR pay a dividend?
- Mesa Royalty Trust/Tx has historically paid monthly, across 445 payments since November 1986.
- How much does MTR pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.025 per share, with an ex-date of May 29, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.30 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does MTR announce its dividend?
- A median of 10 days before the ex-date, across the 142 declarations we hold.
