Winmark Corp's dividend schedule
Winmark Corp has paid quarterly across the 16 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 12, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Payment follows the ex-date by about 23 days, based on the announcements we hold for WINA.
Increases have a season: of the 15 raises in our record, most take effect with the May payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 6.3%, effective with the May 2026 ex-date.

Frequently asked questions
- When will WINA announce its next dividend?
- We expect Winmark Corp to declare its next dividend around October 14, 2026 (the week of October 12, 2026), a medium-quality forecast. This is when the board is expected to declare the dividend, not when the stock goes ex-dividend.
- Do I need to own WINA 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 WINA pay a dividend?
- Winmark Corp has historically paid quarterly, across 67 payments since May 2010.
- How much does WINA pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $1.02 per share, with an ex-date of August 12, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $4.08 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
