All in all, there can be a considerable delay between a company’s financial year end and the day when the dividend is actually in your account. The time difference can vary enormously. Among our examples, Shell pays fairly quickly but even so it is nearly three months after year end and seven weeks after results are announced before the cash reaches your account. This is about as fast as it gets.

Cookson pays a full five months after year end and three months after the results announcement; for Menzies the gap is nearly six months from year end.
