how often does schd pay dividends

SCHD (the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF) pays dividends quarterly , which means four times per year, roughly once every three months.

Dividend timing

• SCHD’s dividend schedule is on a three‑month cycle, so investors typically see payouts in March, June, September, and December.

• Because it is an ETF, the exact pay dates and ex‑dividend dates can shift slightly year to year, but the quarterly pattern has been consistent.

How this works in practice

• If you hold SCHD through the ex‑dividend dates each quarter, you can expect four cash dividend payments over the calendar year.

• Recent data (through late 2025) confirm that SCHD’s payout frequency remains quarterly, with ex‑dividend dates clustered in late March, June, September, and December.
