A simulation, not advice. It assumes you buy at the previous closing price and hold on the record date. In practice you pay the dealer's offer price, which is a little higher, and the share price usually drops by around the dividend on the ex-date. Dollar dividends are converted at the stated exchange rate, so the pounds you receive can differ. Dividends above the £500 annual allowance may be taxable outside an ISA or SIPP.

Yield Maximiser

Highest dividend yields still open to qualify for, with the cover behind them

A high yield is only worth having if profits pay for it. Dividend cover shows how many times earnings could pay the dividend: 2x or more is comfortable, below 1x means the company is paying out more than it earned. A high yield with thin cover can be a warning sign of a future cut, sometimes called a yield trap.

Only show dividends covered 1.5x or more

Tap any company to open it and see what you would be paid, when it lands, and what's driving the business.

2x+ Strong 1.5–2x Adequate 1–1.5x Thin Under 1x Not covered

Cover is trailing 12-month earnings per share divided by dividends per share, on statutory (reported) earnings, from Bigdata.com (FMP data). One-off gains or losses can distort it, and those cases are flagged. The 12-month yield is dividends paid over the last year divided by the share price. "This payment" is the next dividend divided by the previous close.

Spotlight

Three records worth a closer look

Stock Chess · this week's ten

What each company is working on

Projects, deals and targets the companies themselves have announced in results, RNS statements and capital markets days, together with the next date that could move the story. These are company plans, not forecasts from The FOMO Dividend. Each one can slip or fail.

The ledger

Companies going ex-dividend

Company	Index	Type	Dividend	Payment	% of price	Forecast yield	Cover	Status	Source

"% of price" divides this single payment by the share price on 29 September 2026 (interactive investor data). Forecast yield is the forward 12-month figure from the same table. A dash means the figure has not yet been sourced, not that it is zero.

Plain English

Terms used on this page

Ex-dividend date

The first day a share trades without the right to the declared dividend. To qualify, investors generally need to buy before this date, subject to settlement and market rules. On the ex-date the price often falls by roughly the dividend amount, though other market moves can outweigh this.

Record date

The date the company checks its register to see who gets paid. In the UK it usually falls the day after the ex-dividend date.

Dividend cover

How many times earnings could pay the dividend: earnings per share ÷ dividend per share. Always check which earnings measure and which period are used. Hays' 2.8x, for example, uses FY26 pre-exceptional earnings.

Trailing 12-month yield

Dividends actually paid over the past year, divided by today's share price. It looks backwards and can mislead when a dividend has just been cut or raised.

Forecast (prospective) yield

Expected dividends for the next 12 months, divided by today's price. It depends on analyst forecasts, which can change.

Payout ratio

The share of earnings paid out as dividends: dividend ÷ earnings. It is the inverse of cover, so a cover of 2x equals a payout ratio of 50%.

Important information

Not investment advice. Your capital is at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise. Overseas investments carry currency risk.

General information onlyThe FOMO Dividend is published by Stockatonia, 68 Lombard Street, London EC3V 9LJ, for general information and education. It is not personalised investment, tax, legal or accounting advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell any share, fund, bond, commodity, currency or cryptoasset. It does not take account of your objectives, financial situation or needs. If you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for you, seek advice from a regulated financial adviser.

Your capital is at riskShare prices and income can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance, dividend history and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. Dividends are never guaranteed: companies can cut, suspend, delay or cancel them, and dates, amounts and franking can change after publication.

Ex-dividend timingTiming a purchase around an ex-dividend date carries risk. The share price usually falls by around the dividend on the ex-date, and dealing costs, stamp duty, currency charges and tax can outweigh the payment. Cut-off times assume normal trading hours and settlement, and your broker's cut-off may be earlier.

Overseas markets and currencyThe FOMO Dividend covers markets in the UK, the US, India and Australia, among others. Overseas shares carry currency risk: exchange-rate moves can reduce the value of an investment and of any income when converted into pounds. Overseas markets have their own rules, trading hours, settlement, withholding taxes and investor protections, which may differ from the UK's, and UK compensation schemes may not apply. Some overseas shares, including most Indian-listed shares, may not be available to UK retail investors through their broker.

TaxTax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and can change. References to stamp duty, the dividend allowance, ISAs, SIPPs, REIT property income distributions, Australian franking credits and withholding tax are general and may not apply to you. Check HMRC guidance or speak to a qualified tax adviser.

Market data, clocks and calendarPrices, index levels, commodity, currency and cryptoasset figures are updated once each weekday at the close of play. They are not real-time and may be delayed, incomplete or wrong. Market clocks show regular trading hours only and do not reflect public holidays, half-days or unscheduled closures. Economic calendar dates, times and forecasts come from third parties and can change without notice.

News summariesNews items are short summaries of third-party reporting, including content found through Bigdata.com. They may contain errors or omissions and may not reflect later developments. Follow the source link and read the original before relying on anything.

Stock Chess, catalysts and rankingsStock Chess, catalyst cards and yield rankings describe events, plans and figures that companies or others have announced. They are not forecasts, ratings or recommendations. Takeover approaches may never become firm offers, agreed deals can fail, and regulatory decisions are uncertain. A high yield can be a sign that the market expects a dividend cut. Dividend cover uses reported earnings and may differ from the company's own measure.

Dividend simulatorThe simulator is illustrative only. It uses previous closing prices and simplified assumptions, ignores the dealer's spread and price movements, and is not a quote or a promise of what you would receive.

Commodities and cryptoassetsCommodity and cryptoasset prices can be extremely volatile. Cryptoassets are largely unregulated in the UK, and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.

To the extent permitted by law, Stockatonia accepts no liability for any loss arising from the use of this information.
