By Joel Kornblau, Editor, Dividend Channel, Tuesday, September 1, 2026, 10:15 AM ET
Flex LNG Ltd (FLNG), PVH Corp (PVH), and La-Z-Boy Inc. (LZB) are all scheduled to trade ex-dividend on 9/3/26. Investors must own shares before the ex-dividend date to be entitled to the upcoming cash distribution. For these three companies, the next declared payments are $0.75 per share from Flex LNG on 9/17/26, $0.0375 per share from PVH on 9/23/26, and $0.242 per share from La-Z-Boy on 9/15/26.
Upcoming Ex-Dividend Dates and Declared Payments
- Flex LNG Ltd (FLNG): Ex-dividend 9/3/26; quarterly dividend of $0.75; payable 9/17/26
- PVH Corp (PVH): Ex-dividend 9/3/26; quarterly dividend of $0.0375; payable 9/23/26
- La-Z-Boy Inc. (LZB): Ex-dividend 9/3/26; quarterly dividend of $0.242; payable 9/15/26
Expected Share Price Adjustment on the Ex-Dividend Date
On the ex-dividend date, a stock typically opens lower by roughly the amount of the dividend, all else being equal. The market adjustment is mechanical in principle, but actual trading can differ because of broader market moves, company-specific news, liquidity, and investor positioning.
Based on FLNG's recent share price of $31.80, its $0.75 dividend represents approximately 2.36% of the stock price. Under a simple ex-dividend adjustment framework, Flex LNG shares would be expected to open about 2.36% lower on 9/3/26, assuming no offsetting market factors. Using the same approach, PVH would be expected to open about 0.05% lower and La-Z-Boy about 0.77% lower.
What the Annualized Dividend Suggests
If the most recently declared quarterly dividends were maintained for a full year, the implied annualized yields would be approximately:
Annualized yield is a useful shorthand, but it is not a forecast. It simply converts the latest regular dividend into a yearly rate based on the recent share price. That distinction matters here, particularly because the three companies have very different dividend profiles.
Dividend Profile Comparison
Flex LNG stands out for its high indicated yield. A payout at that level can be attractive, but it also requires closer scrutiny of dividend stability. In shipping and energy-linked transport businesses, cash generation can be influenced by charter rates, vessel utilization, fleet financing, and contract coverage. A high headline yield often signals either strong recent cash returns or elevated market skepticism about sustainability.
PVH, by contrast, offers only a minimal cash yield based on the declared payment. For a company such as PVH, dividend income is not the primary element of the equity case. The payout functions more as a modest capital return signal than as a meaningful source of current income.
La-Z-Boy falls between those two extremes. Its indicated yield is more moderate and may be more relevant for investors evaluating a mix of income and operating stability. For consumer discretionary companies, however, dividend durability still depends on margins, demand conditions, inventory discipline, and balance-sheet flexibility.
Why Dividend History Matters
Dividend history can help frame whether a current payout appears stable, growing, or variable. That is especially important when comparing these three names:
- FLNG: The chart shows a dividend history with meaningful variation, including periods of higher and lower distributions. That pattern suggests investors should view the current payout in the context of business conditions rather than assume a fixed distribution path.
- PVH: The chart indicates a long record of relatively small, steady payments. That consistency may support continuity, though the yield remains very low.
- LZB: The chart shows a longer-term pattern of gradual dividend growth, interrupted at points by reductions and later recovery. That history provides evidence of both management willingness to return cash and sensitivity to operating conditions.
Historical payments do not determine future dividends, but they can reveal whether a company tends to maintain a stable baseline payout, adjust distributions with earnings conditions, or emphasize flexibility over consistency.
