PortDividend Calendar
The ex-dividend date is the cutoff: to receive the payment, you must own the shares by the end of the trading day before it. Below are companies with upcoming ex-dividend dates.
Upcoming ex-dividend dates
There are currently 24 companies with upcoming ex-dividend dates. This list can be short, which is normal: WSE companies typically go ex-dividend once a year, while US companies usually do so four times a year, so most have already passed their date for a given week.
How to read the ex-dividend date
The ex-dividend date is the first trading day on which a stock trades without the right to the upcoming dividend payment. To receive the dividend, you must own the shares by the end of the trading day preceding this date — buying on the ex-dividend date itself is too late. On the ex-dividend date, the share price usually opens lower by approximately the dividend amount; this is not a drop but rather the removal of the paid-out money from the valuation.

Before chasing high yields
A high dividend yield is not necessarily good news. Yield is the ratio of dividend to share price, so it also increases when the share price falls—and a falling share price usually has a reason. It also increases after a one-time payout, for example, from the profit of selling a subsidiary, which no one will repeat next year. That's why, in addition to the yield, we show the payout ratio: it tells you what portion of its earnings the company distributed to shareholders. A value above 100% means it paid out more than it earned—from savings or debt.
More about dividends
When do you need to own shares to receive a dividend?
At the close of trading on the day before the ex-dividend date. From the ex-dividend date, the stock trades without the right to the payout, so buying on that day does not entitle you to the upcoming dividend.
Why does the share price drop on the ex-dividend date?
This is because the company's valuation reflects the money that will soon be distributed to shareholders. A drop in share price roughly equal to the dividend amount is a technical adjustment, not a market assessment of the company.
Does the highest dividend yield indicate the best company?
No. The yield also increases when the share price falls, or after a one-time payout that won't be repeated. Therefore, it's worth looking at the payout ratio—above 100% means the company paid out more than it earned.
What tax applies to dividends?
In Poland, dividends are subject to a 19% capital gains tax. For foreign dividends, there's also a withholding tax, and the rules depend on the agreement with the specific country. Portevo does not provide tax advice; it's best to consult with an advisor.
Where does the dividend data come from?
From Yahoo Finance, using the same query that provides analyst forecasts and earnings release dates. The yield is calculated based on the last known payout and may be delayed relative to general meeting decisions.
