## Dividend summary

| Metric | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Frequency | quarterly |
| Trailing 12 months | $1.78 |
| Forward yield | 3.42% |
| Growth streak | — |

Canadian Natural Resources pays a quarterly dividend. Its most recent payment was $0.45 per share, with an ex-date of September 11, 2026, paid on October 2, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.78 per share, a yield of about 3.69% at a share price of $48.22.

The per-share history is not continuous. The March 2024 payment was $0.77, and the next one, in June 2024, was $0.38, about half. A clean step of that size usually reflects a change in share count rather than in the payout, so this summary uses only the payments from June 2024 on. The table also shows an unusually large $1.17 payment in August 2022. Since then, amounts have varied slightly: $0.38 to $0.41 in the rest of 2024, $0.41 to $0.43 in 2025 and $0.45 to $0.46 in 2026. Payments in calendar year 2025 totalled $1.67, the only complete year since the change. The source shows no current growth streak.

Ex-dates have fallen in mid to late March, mid-June, mid-September and mid-December, with payment early in the following month. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid in early January 2027.
