A company pays a dividend to a group of shareholders designated by its board of directors. If they own the shares before the ex-dividend date, common shareholders of dividend-paying firms are usually eligible.
Investors should keep in mind the "record date" or "date of record" as well as the "ex-dividend date" or "ex-date." These dates determine whether or not investors will get dividends.
Stock exchange rules determine the ex-dividend date once the corporation has established the record date. The ex-dividend date for equities is usually one business day before the record date. If a person buys a stock on or after the ex-dividend date, he/she will not receive the dividend payment. The dividend will be paid to the seller in that instance. Investors who purchase before the ex-dividend date will receive the dividend.
This article will discuss three REIT companies that are set to pay a dividend this month. This is to be noted that most real estate stocks ended red today.
