targeted annualized dividend financial

"declared a dividend for the month of April 2026, which reflects a targeted annualized dividend of $1.60 per share"

record date financial

"The dividend has a record date as of the close of business of the last business day of April 2026"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

payment date financial

"Record Date | Payment Date | Common Stock, per share April 30, 2026 | May 15, 2026 | $0.13150685"

The payment date is the day when you actually receive money from a financial transaction, like getting your paycheck or the interest from a savings account. It matters because it tells you when the funds will be available to spend or use. Think of it as the day your paycheck hits your bank account, so you know when you can access the money.
