Hyundai Motor dividend record date: if you buy at the end of the quarter, you won’t receive it — 2026year calendar and practical timing

Hyundai Motor's dividend record date is not the last trading day of the quarter. "3If you buy at the end of the 1quarter, you receive the quarterly dividend" is wrong. The record date has changed.

If you read this article, it becomes clear through what process Hyundai Motor's dividend record date is determined, and what the true last day to buy the stock is. If you miss it by just two days, the dividend disappears.

Automatic application at fiscal year-end is old news

In the past, if a company did not set a separate record date, the fiscal year-end date automatically became the record date. 12If the fiscal year-end was in 31month 12day, 31that date was the record date. It took effect even without disclosure.

The Commercial Act has changed. The record date takes effect only when the company sets the date by board resolution and discloses it. The system in which the fiscal year-end automatically became the record date is over.

A board resolution is the record date

Translate the procedure as stated on Hyundai Motor Company’s official IR page.

• The board of directors resolves the cash dividend matter. It sets the amount, record date, and payment date together.
• The resolution is disclosed on DART electronic disclosure and on the website.
• The dividend is paid to shareholders listed in the shareholder register as of the disclosed record date.

The record date does not need to coincide with the last day of a quarter or half-year. The date set by the board of directors is the record date. 2025For the year-end dividend, for example, the record date and payment date are finalized only after approval at the shareholders' meeting (3month).

Many beginner investors believe that buying at the end of a quarter entitles them to a dividend. Hyundai Motor Company does pay quarterly dividends, but the record date for each quarter is not the same as the last trading day of that quarter. The record date is determined when the board of directors resolves it, and the shareholder register is closed on that day (shareholder register closure). To have your name entered in the register, you must buy the stock one day before the record date. The correct answer is not "end of quarter" but "buy by the day before the record date."3%3%85%6%80%8%90%87%84)

Quarterly dividends and year-end dividends are finalized in different ways

Classification	Timing	How the record date is finalized
Quarterly dividend	1·2·3each quarter	After the quarter’s results are finalized, the board of directors resolves it
Year-end dividend	After annual results are finalized	Board resolution → Shareholders' meeting approval → Disclosure

The common point is that the record date is set by the board of directors. Year-end dividends simply add one more step: approval by the general meeting of shareholders.

After the board resolution, the next point is where the dividend record date is disclosed and where to look so as not to miss the last chance to buy.

Dividend record date: where should you check to avoid confusion?

In the Hyundai Motor Company dividend schedule, the record date is not finalized until the disclosure titled cash dividend record date is posted on the electronic disclosure system DART operated by the Financial Supervisory Service. The fastest and most accurate route is DART. Hyundai Motor Company's dividend inquiry service on its website is a supplementary tool that is reflected a few days after the disclosure. 98Year-end dividend record-date disclosures for 84the year 8were posted on DART immediately after the board resolution in 80the month.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.9There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.88-2026There are no unique numeric facts in this part.85There are no unique numeric facts in this part.84There are no unique numeric facts in this part.99There are no unique numeric facts in this part.84There are no unique numeric facts in this part.2There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.95There are no unique numeric facts in this part.6There are no unique numeric facts in this part.6There are no unique numeric facts in this part.84There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.3There are no unique numeric facts in this part.84There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.4There are no unique numeric facts in this part.80There are no unique numeric facts in this part.9There are no unique numeric facts in this part.7There are no unique numeric facts in this part.80There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.89There are no unique numeric facts in this part.9There are no unique numeric facts in this part.9There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.84There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.3There are no unique numeric facts in this part.9There are no unique numeric facts in this part.84There are no unique numeric facts in this part.5There are no unique numeric facts in this part.90There are no unique numeric facts in this part.98There are no unique numeric facts in this part.84There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.88There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.9There are no unique numeric facts in this part.8There are no unique numeric facts in this part.0There are no unique numeric facts in this part.4There are no unique numeric facts in this part.80There are no unique numeric facts in this part.9There are no unique numeric facts in this part.2025The disclosure of the year-end dividend record date for 2026the year 3was posted on DART immediately after the board resolution in the month.

The way to find it on DART is simple. Access dart.fss.or.kr, then type "Hyundai Motor Company" in the search box. In the "Disclosure Search" tab, checking the "Cash Dividend" item filters out only dividend-related disclosures. You just need to find the "cash dividend record date" disclosure around the date of the board resolution.

The key practical point is how many days separate the buying deadline, the day before the shareholder record date when you must buy the stock to receive the dividend, and the record date itself. We will confirm this later with a real example.

Hyundai Motor Company also has its own dividend lookup service. In the Investor Relations page, under the "Shareholder Dividend" menu, you can check quarterly dividend details, record dates, and payment dates. Because it is updated after the DART disclosure, it is a step behind in speed. If you first saw the disclosure on DART, you can use the website for cross-checking.

The "dividend schedule" shown on securities firms’ HTS platforms or apps is mostly 2processed information from DART disclosures. If you get into the habit of checking the original disclosure directly, you can avoid confusion when there is a record-date change or a special schedule.

It is efficient to use the two channels like this.

• 1Top priority, DART electronic disclosure: The "cash dividend record date" disclosure posted the day after a board resolution is the fastest. The search keyword is "cash dividend".
• 2Second priority, Hyundai Motor Company IR page: It is reflected in the dividend lookup menu within a few days after the disclosure. It is convenient for comparing dividends for common and preferred shares.
• For reference, securities firm HTS/apps: Convenient, but 2processed information. Updates may be late when the record date changes.
• Caution, community and blog summary tables: Errors can be mixed in. The larger the dividend, the more you should 1check the source directly.

Tax handling based on the timing of dividend payment is also something beginner investors often ask about. Dividend income tax is withheld at the time of payment. In other words, the company deducts tax and pays the remainder to the investor. If it is combined with other income and reported as comprehensive income tax, it must be handled at year-end adjustment or during the 5monthly comprehensive income tax filing period (based on National Tax Service guidance).

You can also check the dividend difference between Hyundai Motor Company common shares and preferred shares here. Preferred shares receive dividends before common shares and receive 1more per share. 2024As of 4,000the annual dividend per common share was 4,010won, and preferred shares were 98G84H8I80J0K8L9M0N84O0P3Q3R0S80T3U4V86W5X3Y99Z80AA2AB9AC0AD8-46AE9AF8AG7AH80AI2AJ8AK96AL4AM7AN84AO7AP80AQ8AR88AS82AT8AU84AV90AW0AX9AY8won (based on Hyundai Motor Company IR page). The difference may seem small. Because the market price of preferred shares is lower than common shares in terms of dividend yield, preferred shares often come out higher.

So far, we have covered “where to check.” Now we look at the specific schedule to see exactly how many days separated the record date and the purchase cutoff date, and when the last day to buy the stock was.

2025Actual timing seen through the year-end dividend

The most common mistake in Hyundai Motor’s dividend schedule is the difference between the record date and the buy deadline. The record date is 12 month 31 day. To receive the dividend, you must buy the stock before market close on 12 month 29 day, two days earlier. If you are even one day late, you will not receive the dividend.

Hyundai Motor’s annual year-end dividend record date is every year on 12 month 31 day. On that day, the shareholder register is closed, and the dividend goes to the people listed on it.

If you buy stock, your name is added to the register only the next day. Settlement on the Korea Exchange usually takes 2 business days. If the 12 month 31 day is the record date, you must buy before market close on 2 business days earlier, on 12 month 29 day, for your name to be entered in the register on 31. If you buy on 12 month 30 day, the register is not updated until 1 month 2 day. By then, the record date has already passed. It is as if you bought the stock without receiving the dividend.

Why does the stock price fall the day after the buy deadline?

12 month 29 day. Once dividend rights are fixed at market close, the stock price on the next trading day, 12 month 30 day, falls by the amount of the dividend. This is the phenomenon called dividend ex-rights. 0 month 0 day closing price is 8 ten thousand won and the dividend is 9 won per share, then the opening price on 9 month 9 day will form near 12 ten thousand 29 won.25 when the closing price on the previous day is 8,000 ten thousand won and the dividend is 12 won per share, then the opening price on 30 month 24 day will form near 2,000 ten thousand won.

A beginner investor who doesn’t know this 12on month 30day panics and sells whenever the stock drops sharply, and this happens every year. For someone who received the dividend, if you add the drop in the stock price and the dividend, it is close to the previous day’s closing price. In fact, it is not a loss; the price has simply been separated.

Dividends arrive in 4month

Although the record date and the purchase cutoff are clustered at year-end, the dividend does not actually reach the bank account until four months later. Hyundai Motor approves its dividend plan at the regular shareholders’ meeting at the end of 3month each year. After that, the dividend is paid in 4month.

12month 29day, and buying shares and 4waiting until month means the money comes in. Whether the stock rises or falls in between, you receive the dividend if you are on the record date. You can also sell the shares during those three months. It is also possible to transfer the shares while leaving only the rights behind.

Three things beginners must remember

• The record date (12month 31day) and the purchase cutoff (12month 29day) are two days apart. If you buy on the record date, it is already too late.
• Ex-dividend day (12month 30day) is when the stock price drops. That is the result of the dividend being separated.
• Dividends arrive in 4month. If you buy at year-end, you have to wait three months for it to be realized.

Check the date in DART electronic disclosure filings and count back two days from there to set the buy deadline. If you understand this principle alone, you will miss fewer windows in Hyundai Motor’s dividend schedule.
