Avery Dennison has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share, payable on 16 December 2026 to shareholders of record on 2 December. The company announced the distribution on 23 October 2026.
The issuer’s dividend history supplies two useful distinctions. It dates the declaration to 22 October and lists 2 December as the ex-dividend date as well as the record date. It also shows the same $1.00 amount in July, so the latest declaration should not be described as a fresh dividend increase.

Why the two October dates are not contradictory
A board-declaration date records the corporate decision. A release date records when the announcement was issued. Here, the dividend-history entry and the next day’s release refer to the same amount and December timetable; they should not be turned into two separate distributions.
The ex-dividend date and record date are separate labels even when their calendar dates match. The table above uses the company’s explicit history entry rather than calculating an ex-date from assumed settlement arrangements.
A cash distribution, not an earnings measure
Avery Dennison describes its business in the release as materials science and digital identification, including labeling and RFID products. A $1 per-share dividend is a shareholder distribution, not a report of $1 in earnings per share.
No dated share price is used in this report, so no dividend yield or assured total return is calculated. The announcement also does not guarantee future quarterly dividends. Sources: 23 October announcement and official dividend history. Observation: 25 October 2026 at 13:15:04 IST.
