Oak Valley Bancorp's dividend schedule
Oak Valley Bancorp has paid semi-annually across the 21 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 3, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 26 announcements we have on file, OVLY declares a dividend a median of 10 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice OVLY gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 14 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 11 raises in our record, most take effect with the January payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 25.0%, effective with the February 2026 ex-date.
