Ex-Dividend Dates Approach for Walmart, Amgen, and Other Majors
Investors have a narrow window to buy into several major companies before they miss out on upcoming dividend payments.
The ex-dividend dates for Walmart (WMT), Amgen (AMGN), Viatris (VTRS), Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK), and Central Bancompany (CBC) are August 21-24, meaning shares purchased after this date will not qualify for the next dividend payment.
The largest per-share payment is from Amgen, with a $2.52 payout scheduled to reach shareholders on September 11.
Viatris and Star Bulk Carriers also offer significant returns, with Viatris paying out $1.01 per share on September 10 and Star Bulk Carriers distributing $0.25 per share on September 3.
