A cash dividend, which is a payment a company makes to shareholders directly in money rather than in additional shares of stock, has been declared by GSM at USD 0.015 per share. The payout runs on a quarterly schedule, and the key dates for investors fall in late September 2026. Qualifying shareholders will receive the money on September 29, 2026.
What the three dates mean
Dividends come with a short calendar of deadlines. Each date carries a different function, and missing the right one can mean missing the payment entirely.
The ex-dividend date is September 22, 2026. This is the cutoff. Own GSM shares before this date and you are entitled to the payment. Buy on September 22 or after and you are not, because the stock price adjusts on that day to reflect the fact that the dividend is no longer included in what you are purchasing.
The record date is also September 22, 2026. That is when GSM takes a formal snapshot of its shareholder registry to confirm who is officially on file. In practice, because of how settlement works in equity markets, the ex-dividend date and the record date often land on the same day, as they do here.
The payment date is September 29, 2026. That is when the cash moves. Shareholders confirmed on the record date receive USD 0.015 for each share they hold, deposited into their brokerage accounts.
The quarterly commitment
Declaring a quarterly dividend signals an intent to pay four times a year, though each installment requires its own board decision and public announcement. The USD 0.015 per share amount is confirmed for this cycle only. Future quarters may carry the same rate, a higher one, or a lower one. What comes next depends on declarations GSM has yet to make.
For shareholders doing the math: the total received equals USD 0.015 multiplied by the number of shares held on the record date. The rate is fixed by this declaration. The total received varies by investor, because it scales with the number of shares held.
