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。

1. Date of declaration:Thursday, February 2, 2023 - Apple announces plans to pay shareholders 46 cents for the bracket。
   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。
   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。
