Our predicted date is Friday, November 13. This is when we
expect Westlake Corp 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.
Westlake Corp pays dividends quarterly. We hold 88 payments for it, going back to November 2004 — 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 WLK. 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.

Westlake Corp's dividend schedule
Westlake Corp has paid quarterly across the 21 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 25, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, WLK declares a dividend a median of 10 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice WLK 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 21 raises in our record, most take effect with the August payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount.

Special dividends
Payments well outside WLK'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
- When will WLK announce its next dividend?
- We expect Westlake Corp to declare its next dividend around November 13, 2026 (the week of November 9, 2026), a high-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 WLK 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 WLK pay a dividend?
- Westlake Corp has historically paid quarterly, across 88 payments since November 2004.
- How much does WLK pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.533 per share, with an ex-date of August 25, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $2.132 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does WLK announce its dividend?
- A median of 10 days before the ex-date, across the 56 declarations we hold.
