Costco's $1.47-per-share dividend reaches its ex-dividend date on July 24, 2026, with the $651.9 million total payout scheduled to land in shareholders' accounts on August 7. To qualify, investors needed to hold shares before that ex-date — anyone buying on or after July 24 will not receive this payment.

The rest of the 51-company slate is considerably smaller in scale. First Busey Corporation (BUSE) and Concentrix Corporation (CNXC) each clock in just under $22 million in total payouts, at $0.26 and $0.36 per share respectively, paying out on July 31 and August 4. GE HealthCare Technologies (GEHC) distributes $15.9 million at $0.035 per share on August 14, while Coca-Cola Consolidated (COKE) pays $14.1 million at $0.25 per share on August 7.

Costco's sheer payout size reflects both the breadth of its shareholder base and the scale of its regular dividend program. The gap between Costco's $651.9 million and the next-largest payout on today's list underscores how dominant the warehouse retailer is among this particular group of ex-dividend companies.
