XOM Ex-Dividend Date & Dividend Calculator

ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (XOM) is a high-yield quarterly name at a dividend yield of 2.5%. 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 — XOM (a large integrated energy company spanning refining and exploration) is classified under high yield. 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 2.5% (as of 2026.09.06). Per-payment amounts has stayed very stable payment to payment (variability score 0.02). XOM currently sits below the threshold used to classify a name as variable-dividend. The per-payment amount is about $1.0300, 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. XOM holders should watch which direction the $1.0300 per-payment figure moves over time — a trend across several payments matters more than any single number.

Risk to watch — A higher yield often has a specific reason behind it — payout ratio or business-model pressure — so it's worth looking past the headline number. This isn't an estimate — 2026-08-17 is the confirmed next ex-dividend date, and you need to hold through the prior close to qualify. Read the high-yield ETF tax guide and the complete dividend-types guide, then check the 5-year simulator. None of this replaces doing your own homework on XOM — the $1.0300 figure is a starting point, not the final word.

Summary — Annualizing ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation's ($1.0300) per-payment amount at 4 payments a year comes to roughly $4.12. The actual amount can change every period, so this figure isn't guaranteed. Taken together with the card above, the fact that XOM's payments has stayed very stable payment to payment (variability score 0.02) rounds out the picture. As always, treat every figure here as a point-in-time snapshot. When evaluating XOM, cross-check the $1.0300 per-payment figure against the other numbers in the card above — no single metric should carry the whole judgment.
