What are important Dividend Dates to remember?
Here are important dates related to dividend distribution:
| Date | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Declaration Date | The company's announcement or declaration date that it will be distributing dividends |
| Ex-Date | Also called "Ex-Dividend Date," this is the first day a buyer of a stock is NOT entitled or is EX-cluded from receiving dividends |
| Record Date | The date a stockholder should be "recorded" in the books of the company to be eligible to receive dividends |
| Payment Date | The date dividends are actually paid to eligible shareholders |
Take note that stock prices typically rise from the time the dividend was announced (Declaration Date) until the Ex-Date (the first day when buying a stock does NOT entitle the buyer to the dividends).
Stock prices would fluctuate and possibly rise right before the Ex-Date because investors are scrambling to buy the stock in order to be entitled to receive dividends. Historically, as well, stock prices start to decline from the Ex-Date onwards since those who bought the stock, just to receive dividends, start selling it because they have already earned the right to receive the dividends.
