Five Nasdaq-listed companies share the same deadline this week: all go ex-dividend on August 6, 2026. To collect the upcoming payment, investors need to own shares before the ex-date begins, which means the last day to buy is today, August 5, 2026. Miss it, and the next likely window is a full quarter away.
