John Wiley & Sons, Inc.'s dividend schedule
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 41 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 7, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 53 announcements we have on file, WLY declares a dividend a median of 11 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice WLY gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 17 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 20 raises in our record, most take effect with the July payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount.
