Snap-on Inc's dividend schedule
Snap-on Inc has paid quarterly across the 41 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 19, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 55 announcements we have on file, SNA declares a dividend a median of 14 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice SNA gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 22 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 23 raises in our record, most take effect with the November payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 14.0%, effective with the November 2025 ex-date.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own SNA before the ex-dividend date?

- Snap-on Inc has historically paid quarterly, across 165 payments since August 1985.
- How much does SNA pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $2.44 per share, with an ex-date of August 19, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $9.76 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
