ASX All Ords shares paying passive income

First up we have diversified investment house Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Co Ltd (ASX: SOL).

Soul Patts reported its half-year results on 21 March.

Among the highlights, the ASX All Ords share achieved a 10% year on year increase in its portfolio, which reached $11.5 billion (pre-tax net asset value).

Net cash flow from investments was up 6.9% to $263. And while statutory profit of $303 million fell 33.2% year on year, management increased the fully franked interim dividend by 11.1% to 40 cents per share.

Remarkably, that marks 24 consecutive years the company has increased its dividend payouts.

Soul Patts trades ex-dividend tomorrow, on 17 April. So if you want to bank this passive income, you'll need to own shares by market close today.

The Soul Patts share price is up 7% over 12 months, currently at $34.07.

Atop the final dividend of 51 cents per share, paid on 12 December, Soul Patts trades on a fully franked trailing dividend yield of 2.7%.

Which brings us to the second ASX All Ords share trading ex-dividend this week, building materials company Boral Ltd (ASX: BLD).

Boral reported its half-year results on 9 February.

Highlights included a 9.4% year on year increase in revenue to $1.84 billion and a 143% increase in underlying net profit after tax to $139 million.

However, due to a lack of franking credits, the board opted not to pay an interim dividend.

So the payout we're looking at stems from the takeover offer from Seven Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: SVW). On 12 April Boral announced an improved offer from Seven that included a special dividend for shareholders.

This now sees Boral paying a fully franked interim dividend of 26 cents per share.

This passive income is also not going to last long. Boral stock trades ex-dividend tomorrow, so you'll need to own shares at market close today to grab that. This will be paid on 26 March.

The Boral share price is up 54% in 12 months at $6.01.

Also trading ex-dividend this week

Also trading ex-dividend this week is energy stock Horizon Oil Ltd (ASX: HZN).

The ASX All Ords share reported its half-year results on 27 February.

Revenue for the six months came in at US$66 million, down from US$76 million in the prior corresponding half year. Statutory profit after tax also slipped to US$18 million, down from $19 million.

Still, management declared an unfranked dividend of 1.5 cents per share.

Horizon Oil trades ex-dividend on Thursday, meaning you'll need to own shares at market close tomorrow to bank that payout.

The Horizon Oil share price is up 16% over 12 months at 19 cents.

Rounding off our list of stocks trading ex-dividend this week is discount retailer The Reject Shop Ltd (ASX: TRS).

The ASX All Ords share reported its half-year results on 2 February.

Highlights included a 2% year on year increase in sales to $458 million. Net profit after tax went the other way, falling 12.5% to $14 million.

Still, management declared a fully franked interim dividend of 10 cents per share.

The Reject Shop shares trade ex-dividend on Thursday. So you'll want to own shares at market close tomorrow to receive that passive income, which will be paid out on 3 May.

The Reject Shop share price is down 3% over 12 months at $4.43.
