Ex-Dividend and Earnings Dates

Earnings and ex-dividend dates are an integral part of financial markets. Many of Option Alpha's supported tickers pay a dividend. However, ex-dividend and earnings dates are often rescheduled. To ensure redundancy, we employ two different data sources for the earnings dates showing in our calendar.

ETF ex-dividend dates have been manually added to the platform using the providers distribution schedule or the projected recurring schedule based on historical data. Future dates are an estimation and subject to change.

We encourage the community to participate in this process and ensure that the dates are accurate.
