expected to meet.

We hold 57 payments for it, going back to September 2012 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares.

Nasdaq, Inc.'s dividend schedule
Nasdaq, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 14 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on September 11, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 54 announcements we have on file, NDAQ declares a dividend a median of 50 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice NDAQ gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 15 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 4 raises in our record, most take effect with the June payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 14.8%, effective with the June 2026 ex-date.
