FAQs

What are the 3 dividend dates?

Here, we'll outline the three pivotal dividend dates that shareholders should mark in their calendars.

• Declaration Date: When a company's board announces its dividend plans, including amount, ex-dividend date, record date, and payment date.
• Record Date: After the ex-dividend date, this is when the company identifies shareholders eligible for dividends.
• Payment Date: The day the company pays out dividends to eligible shareholders.

What is the order of dividend dates?

The order of dividend dates is as follows:

• Declaration Date: This is when the company's board officially declares a dividend, informing investors of the dividend amount and the forthcoming key dates.
• Ex-Dividend Date: Occurs one business day before the record date; purchasing the stock on or after this date means you will not receive the dividend.
• Record Date: On this date, you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to be eligible for the dividend.
• Payment Date: Finally, this is when the approved dividend is actually paid out to the shareholders recorded on the record date.

What months are dividends paid?

It's important for investors to plan their trades accordingly if their investment strategy includes collecting dividends.
