What the dividend record shows
Waste Connections’ payment history can help you see how its dividend has changed over time. But past payments alone can’t tell you whether the company will continue paying or raising its dividend. Visit the Waste Connections stock page for more company information.
Latest quarterly dividend details
The current quarterly dividend is CA$0.5371 per share, compared with the previous amount of CA$0.49. The company declared it on October 21, 2026.

As of November 10, the ex-dividend and record dates have passed, while the payment date is still ahead.
The supplied trailing yield is 0.52%. This is a historical measure, not a promised return. See the WCN.TO stock page for more details.
How to assess the track record
A multi-year payment history and recorded increases can help you understand a company’s past dividend activity. Treat them as historical context, not a promise about future payments. Waste Connections operates in the Industrials sector, and its dividend is only one factor to consider when assessing the stock. Compare the payment history with your financial goals and the risks of owning shares in an individual company.
