Ex-Dividend This Week: 4 U.S. Stocks Plus Shell, GSK and Unilever (Nov 9–13, 2026)

To collect a stock’s next dividend you have to own the shares before its ex-dividend date. Below are seven dividend payers with ex-dividend dates this week (November 9–13, 2026): four from the United States and three from the United Kingdom, with the amount, the payment date and what to check before you decide the payout is worth chasing. Last week’s list is in our previous article.

How ex-dividend dates work (quick refresher)

• Buy the stock before the ex-dividend date to receive the upcoming payment; buying on or after that date means you miss it.
• For U.S. stocks the ex-dividend date and the record date are now the same day, so the company announcements below list the record date and it is also the ex-dividend date. For UK-listed shares the ex-dividend date comes one business day before the record date.
• On the ex-dividend date the share price typically falls by roughly the dividend amount, so the dividend is not free money.
• One quarterly payment is not a reason to buy a stock you would not otherwise hold.

This week at a glance

Ex-dividend dates, amounts and payment dates are from each company’s own announcement (see Sources). The four U.S. yields marked with a tilde are from the 24/7 Wall St. ex-dividend calendar published November 6, 2026 at 9:47 a.m. ET, so they reflect prices around that date, not today’s; markets have been volatile, so check the current yield. We could not verify a dated closing price for the three UK names, so no yield is shown for them rather than an unreliable one.

The four U.S. stocks

Baker Hughes (BKR)

• Ex-dividend / record date: November 10, 2026 (Tuesday), per the company’s October 27 announcement.
• Payment: $0.23 per Class A share, payable November 20, 2026; $0.92 a year at that rate.
• What to check: this is the earliest date of the week, so you need to hold the shares by Monday’s close. We did not verify the company’s latest payout ratio, so look at free cash flow versus the dividend in its most recent results.

Apple (AAPL)

• Ex-dividend / record date: November 12, 2026 (Thursday), per Apple’s November 2 results release.
• Payment: $0.27 per share, payable November 16, 2026; $1.08 a year at that rate.
• Coverage: Apple reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $114.5 billion, up 12% year over year, and diluted EPS of $2.10, up 14%. Our arithmetic: $0.27 is about 13% of that quarter’s EPS, so the dividend is very well covered. The trade-off is the low yield (about 0.32% per 24/7 Wall St.).

Diamondback Energy (FANG)

• Ex-dividend / record date: November 12, 2026 (Thursday).
• Payment: $1.18 per share base dividend, payable November 19, 2026. The company raised the base dividend by 7.3% to an annual rate of $4.72.
• Coverage: third-quarter net income attributable to Diamondback was $1,603 million versus $1,018 million a year earlier; diluted EPS was $5.69 versus $3.51. Our arithmetic: the $1.18 base dividend is about 21% of that quarter’s diluted EPS. Oil and gas earnings swing with commodity prices, so one strong quarter does not guarantee the next.

Starbucks (SBUX)

• Ex-dividend / record date: November 13, 2026 (Friday).
• Payment: $0.63 per share, payable November 27, 2026, up from $0.62; $2.52 a year at that rate. Announced in early October 2026.
• What to check: the Friday ex-date means you must buy by Thursday’s close. We did not verify Starbucks’ latest earnings coverage, so check the payout against recent results before relying on the increase.

The three UK-listed names

Shell (SHEL)

• Ex-dividend dates: November 12, 2026 for ordinary shares and November 13 for ADSs (each ADS is two ordinary shares); record date November 13. Announced October 29, 2026.
• Payment: US$0.3906 per ordinary share (US$0.7812 per ADS), payable December 21, 2026. Shell declares in dollars; the sterling and euro amounts will be announced on December 7, 2026, and the currency election closes November 27, 2026.
• What to check: if you hold in sterling or euro, the amount you receive depends on the exchange rate set in December.

GSK (GSK)

• Ex-dividend date: November 12, 2026 for ordinary shares; ADSs November 13; record date November 13. Third-quarter dividend of 17p, up from 16p a year earlier, payable January 7, 2027.
• Coverage: GSK reported third-quarter sales of £8,887 million versus £8,547 million a year earlier, and core EPS of 54.6p versus 55.0p. Our arithmetic: 17p is about 31% of that quarter’s core EPS. Note that core EPS fell slightly in reported terms even though the company quotes +1% at constant exchange rates. GSK expects a 70p total dividend for 2026.

Unilever (ULVR)

• Ex-dividend date: November 12, 2026 for ordinary shares; ADRs November 13; record date November 13. Declared October 28, 2026.
• Payment: £0.3907 per share in London, €0.4664 in Amsterdam and US$0.5219 per ADR, payable December 18, 2026.
• What to check: the payment is more than a month away, and the company notes that future dates are subject to change. We did not verify a coverage ratio for this quarter.

What to check before you buy for the dividend

• Ex-date rules: confirm the ex-date with your broker, because exchanges and share classes differ (ordinary shares versus ADSs, as with Shell, GSK and Unilever this week).
• Withholding tax for non-U.S. investors: dividends from U.S. companies are generally subject to U.S. withholding tax for non-U.S. residents, which a tax treaty and a correctly filed W-8BEN form may reduce. UK company dividends generally carry no UK withholding tax, but your home country may tax them. This is general information, not tax advice; check the exact rate with your broker or a tax adviser.
• Coverage and sustainability: a dividend that is a small share of earnings (Apple, Diamondback on our arithmetic) is easier to sustain than one that is not. A single quarter’s figures are a snapshot, not a guarantee.
• Currency: Shell and Unilever pay in several currencies, so the amount you receive depends on the conversion date.
