Shutterstock, Inc.'s dividend schedule
Shutterstock, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 7 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on June 4, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 27 announcements we have on file, SSTK declares a dividend a median of 43 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice SSTK gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 15 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 6 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 9.1%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.

Special dividends
Payments well outside SSTK'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.
