Our predicted date is Friday, October 30. This is when we
expect ExxonMobil Holdings 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.
ExxonMobil Holdings Corp pays dividends quarterly. We hold 258 payments for it, going back to February 1962 — 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 XOM. 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.

ExxonMobil Holdings Corp's dividend schedule
ExxonMobil Holdings Corp has paid quarterly across the 64 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 17, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, XOM declares a dividend a median of 13 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice XOM gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 30 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 30 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 4.0%, effective with the November 2025 ex-date.
