Special dividends
Payments well outside R's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.

| Dec 15, 1993 | $3.75 |
| May 24, 1982 | $1.136 |
| May 22, 1981 | $1.29 |

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own R before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.
- How often does R pay a dividend?
- Ryder System Inc has historically paid quarterly, across 188 payments since March 1980.
- How much does R pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $1.01 per share, with an ex-date of August 24, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $4.04 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
