- Oceanfirst Financial Corp has historically paid quarterly, across 118 payments since May 1997.

- The most recent payment was $0.20 per share, with an ex-date of August 10, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.80 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
