Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own SEB 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.

- Seaboard Corp /De/ has historically paid quarterly, across 124 payments since March 1990.
- How much does SEB pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $2.25 per share, with an ex-date of August 14, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $9.00 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
