Dividend Basics and Who’s Going Ex in Early July
Posted on Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 | In Current Market News, Stocks to WatchI’ve received questions recently about all the stock dividend dates, so I thought I would clarify them for you. In addition, for those who are interested in ‘buying dividends’, I have listed the stocks going ex-dividend during the first two weeks of July. Here’s what each of the dividend dates mean.
Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend.
Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend.
Record date: the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date.
Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date.
