What the record date means for a retail holder
- The record date is the day on which the company checks its register to decide who receives the dividend. Buying before that date and being on the register makes a shareholder eligible; the dividend is paid per share, so the amount received depends on the number of shares held.
- The payment date is separate from the record date: eligibility is fixed on November 2, 2026, and the money is scheduled to go out from November 19, 2026.
