BlackRock Sets September 22 Dividend Date for Stockholders

Asset manager BlackRock has announced a quarterly cash dividend of $5.73 per share of common stock. The payment goes out on September 22, 2026, for shareholders of record as of September 8. This rate matches the previous quarter, meaning anyone holding 100 shares will take home $573 this month.

Looking at the broader annual picture, holding 100 shares nets $2,292 if the payout stays steady through the final quarter. With share prices trading near $1,065, investors need to buy 18 shares to earn about $100 from this upcoming round, requiring an investment of around $19,170.

BlackRock brings a solid 17 year history of raising dividends. The current dividend yield sits at 2.15 percent, while a forward payout ratio of 35.56 percent shows the firm shares a modest slice of its earnings. Traders should keep an eye on how quickly the stock price recovers after the payout date, as history shows it usually bounces back in under six days.
