Our predicted date is Wednesday, December 9. This is when we
expect Oracle Corp to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes
ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.
Oracle Corp's next ex-dividend date is confirmed for October 9, 2026 ($0.50 per share) — you must own the shares before that date to be entitled to the dividend. It is scheduled to be paid on October 23, 2026.

Oracle Corp's dividend schedule
Oracle Corp has paid quarterly across the 17 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 10, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 54 announcements we have on file, ORCL declares a dividend a median of 28 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice ORCL 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 6 raises in our record, most take effect with the April payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 25.0%, effective with the April 2025 ex-date.
