Ex-dividend day overview

The ex-dividend date is one of the few dates associated with the poor to help investors understand whether they qualify for the income of the poor.。The poor is the income paid to the poor by certain stocks, usually on a schedule, such as quarterly or annually。

For shares that provide for the poor, buying shares on the ex-dividend day means that the investor will receive the poor before then, while on the ex-dividend day or purchase means that the poor have not yet officially received the poor.。They are recorded as stock owners by the company and therefore will not receive the next payment。

Example

Let's take a look at the timing of Apple's loss payment to shareholders in February 2023. Here are four important dates:

1. Date of declaration:Thursday, February 2, 2023 - Apple announces plans to pay shareholders 46 cents for the bracket。
2. Ex-dividend date:Friday, February 10, 2023 - Shareholders must buy Apple shares before this date to get the poor。If shares are purchased on or after this date, they will not qualify for the poor。
3. Date of record:Monday, February 13, 2023 - the day Apple officially checks which investors own its stock。If the investor does not record as a formal shareholder of the booklet (does not purchase shares on the ex-dividend date), then he will not be entitled to compensation。
4. Payment Date:February 16, 2023, last year - Apple paid investors 23 cents for civilized dialog。

The note does not guarantee whether companies will declare poverty, or if so, that poverty will remain at current levels or increase over time.。 

How to find the ex-dividend date of a stock？

Ex-dividend date, i.e. "ex-dividend" trading or no trading, determined by stock exchange rules and published by the company in a public statement。

How many days before the ex-dividend date than the record date？

The record date is the date on which a company checks its official list of investors to see who owns the stock and is eligible for the award.。The ex-dividend date for a stock is usually the day before 1 day, giving the company time to update its journal。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has previously mandated that companies that declare justice set the ex-dividend day two days before the justice record day。At the end of 2017, the term cycle is one working day。

Now, the ex-dividend date is usually set on the record date of the day before the consumer, because it takes time for the transaction to be officially settled from one investor to another.。This process is called liquidation and may involve electronic and / or paper records。Buying shares before the ex-dividend date helps ensure that investors are about to become full shareholders when they are on the record date (the date the company cites its official investor list)。

What conditions need to be met as a shareholder on the stock record date？

The investor must purchase the shares (if offered) before the ex-dividend date so that the transaction can be settled in a timely manner and the investor is owned on the registration date.。The record date is the date on which the company consults its list of shareholders to find out who is considered a full investor.。Trade settlement usually takes two days (T + 2) (T is the trade date) or one day (T + 1)。Investors can only obtain full shareholder status after the settlement of the transaction.。

Why stock prices sometimes fall after ex-dividend days？

Investors who wish to sell shares of a particular company may choose to execute the transaction after the dividend date or ex-dividend date to preserve the upcoming ex-dividend, but still sell the stock。

If an investor sells shares on or after the ex-dividend date, they will still be owned on the record date and can get a keyboard.。Thus, selling on or after the ex-dividend date, an investor can both sell the stock and gain access to the keyboard This may cause the stock to tentatively fall to near the value of the heat exchanger on or after the ex-dividend date。

Do shareholders have a say in the main board?？

Shareholders with voting rights may attend the company's annual general meeting or voting proxies and have a say in certain key decisions affecting the company (such as voting dates)。Other corporate decisions on which shareholders may vote typically include the election of board members and approval of mergers, acquisitions or stock splits。
