📅 BONUS: Four Dividends Go Ex-Date Today 💵Four widely held income names go ex-dividend today, and what that cluster is worth to an income portfolio this week.
Tonight's Numbers
4 — Blackstone, ONEOK, Citigroup, and Omega Healthcare all go ex-dividend today, a same-day cluster worth noting.
4.75% — the 10-year Treasury's level Friday, its highest since January 2025, the benchmark every bond ladder measures against.
3.13% — SCHD's trailing yield Friday, down from a 3.51% year-long average, one gauge of where dividend income sits now.
Four checks went out today whether you noticed the calendar or not. Blackstone, ONEOK, Citigroup, and Omega Healthcare Investors all reached their ex-dividend date this Monday, meaning anyone who owned shares before today's open is locked in for the next payment no matter what the stock does the rest of the week. It is a rare same-day cluster for four widely held income names, and worth a quick look at what each one pays and when it lands in your account. Mondays tend to bunch these dates more than people expect, since a lot of boards set their calendars around the start of a new month. Here's what to know: an ex-dividend date is the cutoff, not the payday, and the mechanics are worth a quick reminder. Blackstone's $1.29 per share lands August 10. ONEOK's $1.07, backed by a dividend streak running more than 25 years, pays August 14, the same day as Omega Healthcare's $0.68. Citigroup's $0.67 does not arrive until August 28. Four different companies, each on its own payment schedule, share only the one cutoff. Owning the stock this morning was what mattered. The payment date from here is simply bookkeeping, the kind of detail that matters more to a spreadsheet than to a decision you need to make today. ONEOK also reports second-quarter results after tonight's close, its first look at earnings since agreeing to a large new pipeline partnership announced earlier this summer. There is a useful example of income durability buried in one of these names. Part of Blackstone's payout is now backed by a new pipeline stake, a $16 billion Kuwait infrastructure deal, structured so its returns are tied to the volume of oil moved rather than the price of oil. That distinction mattered on a day when crude itself moved sharply lower on the Iran news, and it fits a pattern Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman has leaned into all year: structuring new deals around fees and volume instead of commodity price swings. The dividend held regardless of which way oil went this morning, which is the kind of insulation an income-focused portfolio looks for when a headline number swings hard in either direction. The rest of the week's calendar is lighter on confirmed ex-dividend dates for widely held names, which makes today's cluster worth logging in a watchlist rather than letting it slide past unnoticed between now and Friday's jobs report, which will matter more for the rate path than for this week's payout calendar.
Income Watch Declared: Blackstone declared $1.29 per share (about a 4% yield), ONEOK declared $1.07 (4.8% yield, a streak past 25 years), Citigroup declared $0.67, and Omega Healthcare Investors declared $0.68 (5.4% yield). All four are confirmed for today's ex-date. Ex-dates ahead: BX, OKE, C, and OHI all went ex-dividend today, Monday, August 3. No additional broad-market ex-dates are confirmed yet for the rest of this week. Yield check: 10-year Treasury: 4.75% (Friday's level, the highest since January 2025). SCHD trailing yield: 3.13% (Friday), against its 3.51% 12-month average. |
