Insurance Australia Group Ltd (ASX: IAG) shares are down 0.62% to $8.86 on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down 0.73%.

As the August earnings season continues, some companies are already planning their corporate calendars for FY26.

IAG reported its full-year FY25 results last Wednesday, 13 August.

With that over and done with, IAG has now released its corporate calendar for FY26.

If you own IAG shares, these dates are worth noting in your diary.

Dates to diarise if you own IAG shares

IAG will release its 1H FY26 results and announce its interim dividend on 12 February 2026.

The ex-dividend date for the interim IAG dividend will be 17 February.

The record date will be 18 February.

New investors who want their dividends automatically reinvested in more IAG shares through the dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) must submit their DRP elections by 5pm AEST on 19 February.

IAG will pay the dividend to investors on 13 March.

The company will announce its FY26 full-year results and final dividend on 13 August.

The ex-dividend date for the final dividend will be 24 August.

The record date will be 25 August, and the DRP election deadline will be 5pm on 26 August.

IAG will pay the dividend on 28 September.

The insurer will host its annual general meeting on 22 October.

Recap on IAG's FY25 results

IAG shares fell 0.12% after the insurer failed to impress investors with its FY25 report last week.

The insurer reported a 51.3% year-over-year increase in net profit after tax (NPAT) to $1.36 billion.

The company reported an insurance profit of $1.74 billion, up 21.2% on FY24.

The gross written premium (GWP) lifted 4.3% year over year to $17.11 billion. The net earned premium increased 8% to $9.98 billion.

After reviewing IAG's numbers, top broker Macquarie maintained a neutral rating on IAG shares.

The broker reduced its 12-month share price target on IAG from $9.20 to $9.10.

The broker said:

The final dividend slightly missed VA consensus expectations as the company retains excess capital to complete the pending acquisition of RACWA.

Trading at only a ~3.8% premium to weighted peers on a 2-yr fwd PE basis, we see current valuation as fair and retain our Neutral rating.

When will your dividend be paid?

IAG declared a final dividend for FY25 of 19 cents per share with 40% franking, up 11.8% on the final dividend for FY24.

This took the full-year FY25 dividend to 31 cents per share, up 14.8% from FY24.

IAG shares will pay the dividend on 18 September. The ex-dividend date is this Thursday.
