Standard Life plc SDLF

Standard Life PLC (PNXGF) recently announced a total dividend of $0.38 per share, with the ex-dividend date set for 2026-09-24. For investors, the ex-dividend date is a critical marker: shareholders must own the stock before this date to qualify for the payout, while those purchasing on or after it will not receive the distribution. As investors look forward to this upcoming payment, the spotlight also shines on the company's dividend history, yield, and growth rates.

The firm said it had made £210 million worth of cost savings as part of a three-year £250 million cost-cutting target.

Investing.com -- UBS downgraded Standard Life to "Neutral" from "Buy" on Tuesday, saying a more than 25% rise in the shares this year had largely priced in the benefits of recent capital actions, even as the insurer offers an attractive expected shareholder return.
