Reliance, Inc.'s dividend schedule
Reliance, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 31 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 14, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, RS declares a dividend a median of 23 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice RS gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 23 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 20 raises in our record, most take effect with the March payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 4.2%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.
