Dividend Announcements: With our dividends data you get detailed information on all new dividend announcements, and updates to existing dividend announcements, for global equities from 160+ exchanges, as well as 31,000+ mutual funds in the USA as far back as 2003. The data includes:
  • Cash dividends
  • Stock dividends
  • Dividend record date
  • Dividend payment date
  • Ex dividend date
  • Gross & net amounts
  • Details of all currencies in which a dividend can be paid

Dividend Forecasts: In addition to historical dividends paid, and announcements of new dividends, we also offer Dividend Forecasts on 40,000+ global security listings. Algorithmically analyzed and manually fine-tuned by human analysts, our Dividend Forecasts predict how often, when, and how much the listing will pay out in dividends over the coming 24 months. The dividend forecasting process is both algorithmic and manual, and consists of:
  1. Meticulously research of our global corporate actions data going back to 2012 to build up patterns of dividend payments, identifying changes in shares in issue (through rights issues, consolidations, bonus issues and subdivisions) and recording various types of disbursements. 
  2. Combining algorithmic calculations with input from a team of human analysts, the process continues by inspecting dividend history, incorporating changes to the issued share capital, identifying patterns, and calculating individual forward amounts and dates two (2) years ahead. 
  3. Where a clear pattern cannot be identified (e.g. due to a recent change in the fiscal year-end date, a resumption or cut of dividend, or alteration in the dividend payment pattern) the security is flagged for human analysts to research further and make a manual forecast.
  4. Finally, forecasts are constantly checked and amended to ensure the results are reasonable and consistent with industry, geographic and political influences.

​The result? Roughly 70% of algorithmic Dividend Forecasts are exact or within 1-10% variance, and 80% of manual Dividend Forecasts are exact or within 1-10% variance.
