Calamos Long/Short pays a monthly dividend of $0.14 per share. Its most recent paid dividend had an ex-date of September 14, 2026 and was paid on September 21, 2026. The next payment, also $0.14, is already declared, with an ex-date of October 14, 2026 and a pay date of October 21, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.68 per share, a yield of about 13.44% at a share price of $12.50.
The amount has been the same throughout the table, which covers payments with ex-dates from March 2025 onward. All 20 payments, including the declared October one, were $0.14 per share. The table shows no raises, and the source gives no growth streak.
Ex-dates usually fall around the 12th to the 15th of each month, and payment follows about a week later. One timing difference stands out: December 2025 had two ex-dates, December 12 and December 30, and January 2026 had none. The December 30 payment was paid on January 9, 2026, so it served as the January payment. If the monthly pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid about a week later.
