Plains All American Pipeline LP's dividend schedule
Plains All American Pipeline LP has paid quarterly across the 27 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 31, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, PAA declares a dividend a median of 22 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice PAA 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 5 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 10.0%, effective with the January 2026 ex-date.
