JPMorgan preferred stock is paying up

A little cash back for the preferred crowd

JPMorgan Chase’s 4.625% preferred shares are set to go ex-dividend on May 4, 2026, with a payout of $0.28908 per share. The cash will be paid on June 1, 2026.

Why you should care

This isn’t the kind of headline that sends traders sprinting for the exits, but it matters if you own the preferred. Miss the ex-date and you miss the dividend — simple as that. Own the shares before then, and you’re in line for the payout.

The fine print, minus the headache

Preferred stock often behaves like the corporate middle child: less dramatic than common shares, but still useful if you like income. In this case, JPMorgan is essentially telling holders, “Thanks for the capital, here’s your coupon-ish cash flow.”

• Ex-dividend date: May 4, 2026
• Dividend per share: $0.28908
• Payment date: June 1, 2026

Big picture: it’s a routine income event, not a business-changing bombshell — but for dividend hunters, boring can be beautiful.
