Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own MUR 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 MUR pay a dividend?
- Murphy Oil Corp has historically paid quarterly, across 175 payments since May 1983.
- How much does MUR pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.35 per share, with an ex-date of August 17, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.40 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
