From ANN to CGF, NWL: These ASX stocks to turn ex-dividend next week

Highlights

• Most investors prefer to invest in dividend paying stocks.
• Stocks are typically purchased or sold with a dividend until two business days before the record date, at which point they become ex-dividend.

After paying its creditors, a firm might use a portion or all of its residual profits to pay dividends to its shareholders. However, if a company is facing cash crisis or needs capital for reinvestment, it can forego paying dividends.

Stocks are typically purchased or sold with a dividend until two business days before the record date, before they become ex-dividend.

Most investors prefer to invest in dividend-paying stocks as dividends are considered a great source of passive income. Investment in dividend-paying stocks is considered as less risky, and you can reinvest your dividend sum to get more profit.

Besides, with dividend amounts, you get help to fight inflation, and they are very less likely to be affected by market volatility.

Investing in dividends is secure, but investors should do necessary research and exercise patience while investing in dividends.

In this article, we at Kalkine Media® will discuss a few stocks which are going ex-dividend next week.
