CSX is distributing $259.3 million to shareholders, with the payment landing on September 15 for investors who hold shares as of today's ex-dividend date, August 31. Missing today's cutoff means waiting until the next dividend cycle to collect.
AGNC Investment is the second-largest total payout of the group at $142.3 million, with its payment arriving sooner than the rest on September 10. At $0.12 per share, it reflects the frequent distribution schedule that mortgage REITs typically maintain.
