Investor Takeaway: For VDY.TO holders, the ex-dividend date is important because it determines who gets the dividend. If you held shares before the ex-dividend date, you'll receive the dividend; new buyers won't.

Dividend Amount and Payment Details

The dividend of CA$0.186 shows VDY.TO's commitment to providing returns to its investors, with a trailing yield of 312.00%.

Understanding Ex-Dividend Dates

The ex-dividend date is key for investors in dividend-paying stocks or ETFs like VDY.TO. It’s the cut-off date that decides if a shareholder is eligible for the upcoming dividend. If you buy shares on or after the ex-dividend date, you won't get the dividend payment. In this case, since VDY.TO went ex-dividend on September 18, 2026, only those who held shares before this date can claim the CA$0.186 dividend.
