Five dividend stocks share an August 7 ex-date, with a buy deadline

Alliance Resource Partners and Capitol Federal Financial both have August 7 ex-dates, meaning buyers must purchase by the close of trading on August 6 to receive the next payout.

Five dividend-paying stocks are set to go ex-dividend on Friday, August 7, creating a clear timing deadline for investors who want the next distributions. According to Yahoo Finance, the last day to buy shares to be eligible is the close of trading on Thursday, August 6, because shares purchased on or after the ex-date will not receive that payment.

Among the names, Alliance Resource Partners has a quarterly distribution of $0.60 per unit, which is $2.40 annualized and implies a 9.2% yield, with a payment date of August 14. Yahoo Finance notes ARLP cut its payout in 2025 from $0.70 to $0.60.

The article also highlights Capitol Federal Financial, which pays $0.085 per share quarterly, or $0.34 annualized, implying a 3.7% yield. Its next dividend payment is tied to the same August 7 ex-dividend deadline, reinforcing that investors need to own shares by the buy-by cut-off to receive the distribution.

Yahoo Finance adds that dividend eligibility depends on owning shares before the ex-dividend date, and that stocks often open lower by roughly the dividend amount on the ex-date, reflecting the adjustment rather than new “free money.” The piece frames the checklist as an income timing exercise and a quick review of payout coverage for the listed stocks.
