I just reviewed the Ibex 35 stock dividend calendar for the rest of 2026, and honestly, there are quite a few interesting developments. If you’ve been in the stock market for a while, you know that staying ahead of the market is key, and these upcoming Ibex 35 stock dividends coming in the next few months could be a good opportunity to position yourself.

What catches my attention the most is that the first payments of the year have been very solid. Companies like Aena have raised their dividends by more than 10% versus 2025, and Inditex is also putting out strong figures. Even Indra is forecasting increases of 20% for julio. That said, not everything is rosy: Telefónica has had to cut its dividend by 50% to reduce debt, so you need to keep an eye on who is truly in good shape.

If you look at the upcoming Ibex 35 stock dividends, julio is pretty busy: Iberdrola, Repsol, Endesa, Amadeus, Acerinox... all with payments scheduled. Tourism and luxury are still the sectors that perform best, which makes sense given the global geopolitical situation. Industry remains weaker, but overall the Ibex 35 is showing moderate growth.

As for strategy, most investors enter before these Ibex 35 stock dividends and then sell after the payout or at the buy peak. If you plan your entry well, you can take advantage of that seasonal spike. The important thing is to be clear about which companies are truly growing versus those that simply distribute what they have. Fundamental analysis remains the most important for 2026.
