Special dividends
Payments well outside UG'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.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own UG 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.
- How often does UG pay a dividend?
- United Guardian Inc has historically paid semi-annually, across 53 payments since December 1997.
- How much does UG pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.30 per share, with an ex-date of July 28, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.60 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does UG announce its dividend?
- A median of 12 days before the ex-date, across the 28 declarations we hold.
