Lazard has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share on its outstanding common stock. The 21 October 2026 announcement sets 2 November as the record date and 13 November as the payment date.
The declaration gives shareholders a specific cash-distribution timetable. It is not a new earnings report, and the dollar payment should not be interpreted as a percentage yield.

Record date is not a purchase instruction
A record date identifies the shareholder register used for the distribution. A payment date tells readers when the issuer says the dividend is payable. Those labels should not be substituted for one another.
Someone considering a transaction should check the security’s official ex-dividend information and their intermediary’s rules rather than treating this article’s record date as a last-minute buying deadline. The cited release does not establish such a deadline.
The simple calculation—and its limit
For 100 eligible common shares, 100 × $0.50 gives a declared gross amount of $50. This example does not calculate tax, foreign-exchange conversion, fees or an investment return. No share price was checked for this report, so no dividend yield is presented.
Future quarterly dividends are separate board decisions; this declaration establishes the current payment only. For another source-table treatment of cash-distribution dates, see CapKet’s ONEOK dividend report.
