ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.
Walker & Dunlop, Inc. pays dividends quarterly. We hold 35 payments for it, going back to February 2018 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares.

Walker & Dunlop, Inc.'s dividend schedule
Walker & Dunlop, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 8 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 20, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 34 announcements we have on file, WD declares a dividend a median of 15 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice WD gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 16 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 8 raises in our record, most take effect with the February payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 1.5%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.
