Southern Copper stock enters ex-dividend week as November payout nears

Southern Copper Corporation is approaching its next shareholder-return date after the board approved a quarterly cash dividend and a stock dividend on October 15, 2026. The schedule is set out in the company's October 20 results release.

Dividend date and shareholder eligibility

The cash dividend is 1.30 US dollars per common share, while the stock dividend is 0.0106 shares per common share. Payment is scheduled for November 19, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 3.

The timetable gives investors a near-term income event to monitor. The broader investment case remains linked to copper prices, production volumes and the execution of Southern Copper's projects in Peru and Mexico.
