expect Service Properties Trust to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes
ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.

We hold 122 payments for it, going back to October 1995 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares. We don't publish a predicted next ex-dividend date for SVC. As soon as the company declares one it will appear at the top of this page; until then the record below is what we hold.

Service Properties Trust's dividend schedule
Service Properties Trust has paid quarterly across the 30 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 20, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 43 announcements we have on file, SVC declares a dividend a median of 8 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice SVC gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 27 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 9 raises in our record, most take effect with the April payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount.

Special dividends
Payments well outside SVC'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.

- Do I need to own SVC 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.

- Service Properties Trust has historically paid quarterly, across 122 payments since October 1995.

- The most recent payment was $0.01 per share, with an ex-date of July 20, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.04 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
