Four income stocks—WD-40 Company, Gladstone Capital, Gladstone Commercial, and ArrowMark Financial—are nearing their ex-dividend dates, with payments scheduled for October 30. WD-40's ex-dividend date is October 19, making October 16 the last day to buy shares to qualify for the dividend. The other three stocks share an ex-dividend date of October 23, with October 22 as the last buying day. Investors must purchase shares before these dates to receive the upcoming dividends, which range from about 2% to over 9% yields. After the ex-dividend dates, share prices typically drop by the dividend amount, so buying solely for the payout is not a sustainable strategy. Investors should also watch upcoming earnings and income reports to assess dividend sustainability.
