J M SMUCKER Co's dividend schedule
J M SMUCKER Co has paid quarterly across the 25 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, SJM declares a dividend a median of 24 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice SJM gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 20 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 26 raises in our record, most take effect with the August payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 1.8%, effective with the August 2026 ex-date.
