Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC) recently announced a dividend of $0.320 per share, set for distribution on Sept 19, 2025, with the ex-dividend date marked for Aug 20, 2025. The announcement was made on Aug 6, 2025. This dividend represents an increase compared to the average of the last ten dividends, which stood at $0.163. Additionally, the previous dividend was slightly lower at $0.318 per share, distributed on Jun 19, 2025. Both dividends are classified as cash dividends.

Recently, a significant development emerged as Prudential PLC acquired 12,524 shares of Manulife FinancialMFC--, contributing to a slight upward trend in the company's stock price, which opened at $30.60, marking a 0.4% increase. Analysts have been optimistic about Manulife's potential, suggesting that shares are worth purchasing during market dips due to the company's robust standing amidst economic uncertainties. Additionally, over the past week, concerns have been raised about the sustainability of Manulife's dividends following a substantial 46.88% reduction in its annual dividend from $1.17 in 2024 to $0.62 in 2025. This drop has prompted scrutiny regarding the timing and strategy behind the company's dividend policies.

In conclusion, investors should note the upcoming ex-dividend date of Aug 20, 2025, as the last opportunity to purchase shares and qualify for the dividend payout. Any acquisition of shares beyond this date will not entitle the investor to the current dividend distribution.
