Prudential Financial Inc's dividend schedule
Prudential Financial Inc has paid quarterly across the 23 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 25, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, PRU declares a dividend a median of 11 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice PRU gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 27 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 13 raises in our record, most take effect with the February payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 3.7%, effective with the February 2026 ex-date.
