DIVIDENDS (ex dividend dates)

The article lists companies that are going ex-dividend this week, showing each company’s listed ordinary-share dividend amount (e.g., 'ord 10.5A') and the franked or unfranked percentage. The entries are grouped by day (TODAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY) so you can quickly see which ASX stocks are paying dividends and how those dividends are franked.

TODAY’s ex-dividend list in the article includes: Consolidated Media (ord 10.5A, unfranked), Contango Microcap (ord 3.2A, 100% franked), Crown (ord 18A, 60% franked), Lycopodium (ord 10A, 100% franked) and Seven Group Holdings (ord 18A, 100% franked).

The article lists: Tuesday — AVJennings (ord 1A, 100% franked), Contango Capital (ord 2.5A, 100% franked), Peet (ord 4A, 100% franked). Wednesday — ARB Corp (ord 10A, 100% franked). Thursday — Carsales.com (ord 9.4A, 100% franked), National Can Ind (ord 1A, 100% franked). Friday — Customers Ltd (ord 3A, unfranked).

Entries such as 'ord 10.5A' refer to the dividend amount declared for ordinary shares as reported in the schedule. The article presents the company, the dividend figure attached to ordinary shares, and the franking percentage — use the company announcement or ASX release for exact units and confirmation.

'Franked' indicates the dividend carries franking credits from tax already paid by the company; '100% franked' means the company has fully franked the dividend, while 'unfranked' means no franking credits accompany that payout. Franking affects your personal tax position because it can reduce the tax you owe on the dividend — consult your tax adviser for how franking credits apply to you.

Yes — to be entitled to a listed dividend you must own the shares before the company’s ex-dividend date. The schedule shows which companies are going ex-dividend on which day, but you should confirm the exact ex-dividend and record dates via the company or ASX announcements before trading.

The amounts and franking levels in the article reflect reported declarations, but investors should treat them as company-reported data and verify with the official company announcement or ASX release. Companies can update details, and full confirmation (including payment and record dates) comes from official filings.

For official and up-to-date details check each company’s investor relations page and the ASX announcements page. Those sources will provide formal notices with payment dates, record dates, ex-dividend dates and any additional information not included in the summary schedule.
