What âEx-Dividendâ means?
The Ex-Dividend defines the companyâs stock, which are on trade without having information on any upcoming dividend. If an investor is making entry into stock on or post ex-dividend date, that investor would not be entitled to the declared dividend. However, the seller of the stock will be eligible for the dividend. To confirm whether the investor will get dividend or not, an investor should keep an eye on key dates such as âRecord Dateâ and Ex-Dividend Dateâ. Hence, the investor should be on the companyâs register on the âRecord Dateâ for being eligible for declared dividend.
Generally, on the date of Ex-Dividend, the stock of the company trades slightly lower compared to the previous dayâs prices, reflecting slightly lower demand for the stock as investors have no immediate added incentive for buying that stock.
