CVX Ex-Dividend Date & Dividend Calculator

Chevron Corporation (CVX) is a high-yield quarterly name at a dividend yield of 3.4%. A stable business base and free cash flow (FCF) are what sustain a high payout, and an excessively high payout ratio carries dividend-cut risk.

When investing in high-yield names, check dividend safety (a dividend safety score) and the last 5 years of payment history, not just the headline yield. See the complete dividend-types guide and DCA vs. lump-sum investing.

Product structure — CVX is a large integrated energy company spanning refining and exploration. It's classified as an individual high-yield name — unlike an ETF, its board decides and announces the dividend amount each quarter directly.

Payout mechanics — Paid quarterly, with a current yield of 3.4% (as of 2026.09.06). Per-payment amounts has stayed very stable payment to payment (variability score 0.03). As of now, CVX's payment history isn't volatile enough to be classified as variable-dividend. The per-payment amount is about $1.7800, paid roughly 4 times a year. This figure is recalculated every period, so it isn't guaranteed to hold going forward — it's a reference point based on past payment history. None of this replaces doing your own homework on CVX — the $1.7800 figure is a starting point, not the final word.

Risk to watch — High-yield names tend to move more with credit and rate conditions than the broader market — that's part of why the yield sits where it does. Mark 2026-08-19 on the calendar — it's the confirmed next ex-dividend date, with eligibility set by the prior trading day's close. See the high-yield ETF tax guide and run the numbers in the 5-year simulator. When evaluating CVX, cross-check the $1.7800 per-payment figure against the other numbers in the card above — no single metric should carry the whole judgment.

Summary — The official name is Chevron Corporation. Simply annualizing the $1.7800 per-payment amount at a quarterly cadence (4x/year) works out to about $7.12 a year — that's pure arithmetic assuming the current payment holds steady, not a forecast. For CVX, it's worth cross-referencing the fact that payments has stayed very stable payment to payment (variability score 0.03) against the figures in the card above. Every number here carries the same caveat — it's a snapshot, not a guarantee. CVX's $1.7800 per-payment figure is a snapshot, not a recommendation — weigh it against your own research before acting.
