Published on 10/05/2026 at 06:19 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Source Capital (ISIN US8361443034) has a USD 0.21 per-share cash distribution scheduled for an October 15, 2026 ex-dividend date, according to Yahoo Finance on September 16, 2026. The payment date is October 30, 2026, giving the announcement a concrete timetable for income-oriented shareholders.
Dividend dates set the frame
The distribution is part of Source Capital's monthly payout structure. MarketBeat reported on September 27, 2026, that the monthly dividend was USD 0.2083 per share, equivalent to USD 2.50 annualized and a 5.50 percent yield. The small difference between USD 0.2083 and the rounded USD 0.21 figure reflects the source precision used for the recurring payment.
The record date for the next cited payment is November 13, 2026, with payment scheduled for November 30, 2026, according to MarketBeat's September 27, 2026 report. Those dates extend the distribution calendar beyond the October ex-dividend date and make payment timing the central near-term stock consideration.
What the dividend means for stock
Source Capital is a diversified closed-end management investment company that seeks long-term capital growth and current income through investments in equity securities, according to MarketBeat's company profile published on September 27, 2026. Its portfolio may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and other investments issued by public and private companies.
The income profile comes with a sustainability question. A Yahoo Finance report dated September 16, 2026, citing figures as of December 31, 2025, listed a dividend payout ratio of 0.35 and a profitability rank of 3 out of 10. These historical measures do not determine the next payment, but they frame the difference between a scheduled distribution and the fund's longer-term earnings capacity.
