Pricesmart Inc's dividend schedule
Pricesmart Inc has paid semi-annually across the 19 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 17, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 15 announcements we have on file, PSMT declares a dividend a median of 12 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice PSMT gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 16 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 7 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 11.1%, effective with the February 2026 ex-date.
