Bank of America dividend payment schedule
Bank of America’s fourth-quarter dividend declaration sets the common-stock payment at the same level as the previous quarterly payout. The declaration establishes the amount and payment timetable; it is not an increase in the quarterly distribution.
At $0.32 per quarter, the common dividend equates to an annualized $1.28 per share if that rate is maintained for four quarters. Against the reported share price of $50.78, that implies a yield of approximately 2.52%. The yield changes with the stock price, and the annualized calculation is not a commitment to future declarations.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Common dividend per share | $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2026 |
| Common-stock record date | December 4, 2026 |
| Common-stock payment date | December 24, 2026 |
| Annualized common payout | $1.28 per share, assuming four quarters at the declared rate |
Preferred shareholders have a separate January timetable
The board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.75 per share on Bank of America’s 7% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series B. That payment is scheduled for January 25, 2027, to shareholders of record on January 11, 2027.
The preferred-stock payout is a separate distribution from the common dividend. Its amount and eligibility dates apply specifically to Series B holders, rather than holders of Bank of America’s NYSE-listed common shares, which trade under BAC.
Conclusion
The next scheduled milestone for common shareholders is the December 4, 2026, record date, followed by the December 24 payment. Series B preferred shareholders follow a separate January 2027 timetable.
