It's October, and we still have big-name companies preparing to pay dividends, with the last date to trade within this week. Our latest update includes companies such as African Rainbow Minerals Limited, New York Times Co, Mastercard Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Comcast Corp, each with upcoming last trade dates.

For music lovers, Universal Music Group NV, a record label for artists like Alicia Keys, The Weeknd, Drake, Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and many more, is one of the entertainment giants gearing up for a dividend payout to shareholders. It's worth noting that Universal Music Group will also oversee merchandise and receive a share of sales from Taylor Swift's upcoming concert.
